This repository contains the code and configuration for the Job engine, packaged as a Docker container.

Nuvla job engine use cimi job resource and zookeeper as a locking queue. It's done in a way to be horizontally scalled on different nodes.

• nuvla/job:<version>. A Docker container that can be obtained from the nuvla/job repository in Docker Hub. The tags indicate the release number.

To contribute code to this repository, please follow these steps:

1. Create a branch from main with a descriptive, kebab-cased name to hold all your changes.

2. Follow the developer guidelines concerning formatting, etc. when modifying the code.

3. Once the changes are ready to be reviewed, create a GitHub pull request. With the pull request, provide a description of the changes and links to any relevant issues (in this repository or others).

4. Ensure that the triggered CI checks all pass. These are triggered automatically with the results shown directly in the pull request.

5. Once the checks pass, assign the pull request to the repository coordinator (who may then assign it to someone else).

6. Interact with the reviewer to address any comments.

When the reviewer is happy with the pull request, he/she will "squash & merge" the pull request and delete the corresponding branch.

The bulk of the code in this repository is written in Python.

The formatting follows the coding style in defined in PEP 8.

• Each action should be distributed by a standalone distributor
• More than one distributor for the same action can be started but only one will be elected to distribute the job
• Executor load actions dynamically at startup time
• Zookeeper is used as a Locking queue containing only job uuid in /job/entries
• Running jobs are put in zookeeper under /job/taken
• If executor is unable to communicate with CIMI, the job in running state is released (put back in zookeeper queue).
• The action implementation should take care to continue or to make the cleanup of a running interrupted job
• If the connection break with zookeeper, job in exection will be released automatically. This is because /job/taken entries are ephemeral nodes.
• Stopping the executor will try to make a proper shuttdown by waiting 2 minutes before killing the process. Each thread that terminate his running action will not take a new one.

Before running unit tests with tox you need to generate requirements file out. To do so, we first need to generate the test requirements file. This is done using poetry requirements exporter which can be installed as follows:

pip install poetry poetry-plugin-export

Then run export command:

poetry export -f requirements.txt -o requirements.test.txt --without-hashes --without-urls --with test --with server

Then run the unit tests with:

tox

Before running docker build you need to generate requirements file and the wheel package. To do, install poetry and poetry-plugin-export as described above and then run:

poetry build --format=wheel
poetry export -f requirements.txt -o dist/requirements.txt --without-hashes --without-urls --with server

The order of the commands might be important since the requirements file output goes into dist/ directory which is created by the first command.

Then building the image requires the following command:

export JOB_ENGINE_VERSION=$(poetry version -s)
docker build --build-arg="PACKAGE_TAG=${JOB_ENGINE_VERSION}" -t local/job:${JOB_ENGINE_VERSION} .
