# PerfectSched
[](https://travis-ci.org/treasure-data/perfectsched)
[](https://coveralls.io/github/treasure-data/perfectsched?branch=master)
PerfectSched is a highly available distributed cron built on top of RDBMS.
It provides at-least-once semantics; Even if a worker node fails during process a task, the task is retried by another worker.
PerfectSched also guarantees that only one worker server processes a task if the server is alive.
All you have to consider is implementing idempotent worker programs. It's recommended to use [PerfectQueue](https://github.com/treasure-data/perfectqueue) with PerfectSched.
## API overview
```
# open a schedule collection
PerfectSched.open(config, &block) #=> #
# add a schedule
ScheduleCollection#add(task_id, type, options)
# poll a scheduled task
# (you don't have to use this method directly. see following sections)
ScheduleCollection#poll #=> #
# get data associated with a task
Task#data #=> #
# finish a task
Task#finish!
# retry a task
Task#retry!
# create a schedule reference
ScheduleCollection#[](key) #=> #
# chack the existance of the schedule
Schedule#exists?
# delete a schedule
Schedule#delete!
```
### Error classes
```
ScheduleError < StandardError
##
# Workers may get these errors:
#
AlreadyFinishedError < ScheduleError
NotFoundError < ScheduleError
PreemptedError < ScheduleError
ProcessStopError < RuntimeError
##
# Client or other situation:
#
ConfigError < RuntimeError
AlreadyExistsError < ScheduleError
NotSupportedError < ScheduleError
```
### Example
```ruby
# submit a task
PerfectSched.open(config) {|sc|
data = {'key'=>"value"}
options = {
:cron => '0 * * * *',
:delay => 30,
:timezone => 'Asia/Tokyo',
:next_time => Time.parse('2013-01-01 00:00:00 +0900').to_i,
:data => data,
}
sc.add("sched-id", "type1", options)
}
```
## Writing a worker application
### 1. Implement PerfectSched::Application::Base
```ruby
class TestHandler < PerfectSched::Application::Base
# implement run method
def run
# do something ...
puts "acquired task: #{task.inspect}"
# call task.finish!, task.retry! or task.release!
task.finish!
end
end
```
### 2. Implement PerfectSched::Application::Dispatch
```ruby
class Dispatch < PerfectSched::Application::Dispatch
# describe routing
route "type1" => TestHandler
route /^regexp-.*$/ => :TestHandler # String or Regexp => Class or Symbol
end
```
### 3. Run the worker
In a launcher script or rake file:
```ruby
system('perfectsched run -I. -rapp/schedules/dispatch Dispatch')
```
or:
```ruby
require 'perfectsched'
require 'app/schedules/dispatch'
PerfectSched::Worker.run(Dispatch) {
# this method is called when the worker process is restarted
raw = File.read('config/perfectsched.yml')
yml = YAJL.load(raw)
yml[ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development']
}
```
### Signal handlers
- **TERM**,**INT**,**QUIT:** shutdown
- **USR1**,**HUP:** restart
- **USR2:** reopen log files
## Configuration
- **type:** backend type (required; see following sections)
- **log:** log file path (default: use stderr)
- **poll\_interval:** interval to poll tasks in seconds (default: 1.0 sec)
- **timezone:** default timezone (default: 'UTC')
- **alive\_time:** duration to continue a heartbeat request (default: 300 sec)
- **retry\_wait:** duration to retry a retried task (default: 300 sec)
## Backend types
### rdb\_compat
additional configuration:
- **url:** URL to the RDBMS (example: 'mysql://user:password@host:port/database')
- **table:** name of the table to use
### rdb
Not implemented yet.
