Quartz stop a job

Quartz did a good job on implementing this concept. It was very easy to add this feature by implementing a base class that abstract the details of interrupt and have every job extend this class. If you can rely on thread.interrupt() then its the best way to interrupt a job that is blocked on some I/O or native call. However if its a normal job then a simple boolean flag would do the work.

You would need to use scheduler.interrupt(jobName, groupName); to interrupt a running Quartz job.


public abstract class BaseInterruptableJob implements InterruptableJob {
 private static final AppLogger logger = AppLogger.getLogger(BaseInterruptableJob.class); 
 private Thread thread;
 @Override
 public void interrupt() throws UnableToInterruptJobException {
  logger.info("Interrupting job " + getClass().getName());
  if (thread != null) {
   thread.interrupt();
  }
 }

 @Override
 final public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException {
  try {
   thread = Thread.currentThread();
   interruptableExecute(context);
  } finally {
   thread = null;
  }
 }
 
 protected abstract void interruptableExecute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException;

}

  1. package net.nighttale.scheduling;

    import org.quartz.*;

    public class QuartzReport implements Job {

    public void execute(JobExecutionContext cntxt)
    throws JobExecutionException {
    System.out.println(
    "Generating report - " +
    cntxt.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap().get("type")
    );
    //TODO Generate report
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
    SchedulerFactory schedFact
    new org.quartz.impl.StdSchedulerFactory();
    Scheduler sched schedFact.getScheduler();
    sched.start();
    JobDetail jobDetail
    new JobDetail(
    "Income Report",
    "Report Generation",
    QuartzReport.class
    );
    jobDetail.getJobDataMap().put(
    "type",
    "FULL"
    );
    CronTrigger trigger new CronTrigger(
    "Income Report",
    "Report Generation"
    );
    trigger.setCronExpression(
    "0 0 12 ? * SUN"
    );
    sched.scheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    }

    How stop Job here any suggestion please?

  2. well from the program it seems you are running a main program and not a web application so the only way you can stop this is to start another thread in application that is listening a port for some commands and when you receive the stop command you can stop your scheduler. Or you can embed a mini http server in the app and then use the request parameter to trigger the stop.

Killing a particular Tomcat thread

Update: This JSP does not work on a thread that is inside some native code.  On many occasions I had a thread stuck in JNI code and it wont work. Also in some cases thread.stop can cause jvm to hang. According to javadocs " This method is inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread with Thread.stop causes it to unlock all of the monitors that it has locked". I have used it only in some rare occasions where I wanted to avoid a system shutdown and in some cases we ended up doing system shutdown as jvm was hung so I had a 70-80% success with it.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We had an interesting requirement. A tomcat thread that was spawned from an ExecutorService ThreadPool had gone Rogue and was causing lots of disk churning issues. We cant bring down the production server as that would involve downtime. Killing this thread was harmless but how to kill it, t

Adding Jitter to cache layer

Thundering herd is an issue common to webapp that rely on heavy caching where if lots of items expire at the same time due to a server restart or temporal event, then suddenly lots of calls will go to database at same time. This can even bring down the database in extreme cases. I wont go into much detail but the app need to do two things solve this issue. 1) Add consistent hashing to cache layer : This way when a memcache server is added/removed from the pool, entire cache is not invalidated.  We use memcahe from both python and Java layer and I still have to find a consistent caching solution that is portable across both languages. hash_ring and spymemcached both use different points for server so need to read/test more. 2) Add a jitter to cache or randomise the expiry time: We expire long term cache  records every 8 hours after that key was added and short term cache expiry is 2 hours. As our customers usually comes to work in morning and access the cloud file server it can happe

Preparing for an interview after being employed 11 years at a startup

I would say I didn't prepared a hell lot but  I did 2 hours in night every day and every weekend around 8 hours for 2-3 months. I did 20-30 leetcode medium problems from this list https://leetcode.com/explore/interview/card/top-interview-questions-medium/.  I watched the first 12 videos of Lecture Videos | Introduction to Algorithms | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science | MIT OpenCourseWare I did this course https://www.educative.io/courses/grokking-the-system-design-interview I researched on topics from https://www.educative.io/courses/java-multithreading-for-senior-engineering-interviews and leetcode had around 10 multithreading questions so I did those I watched some 10-20 videos from this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1XnDWhsLS5URXTi5wtFTA
