Dexecutor is a very light weight framework to execute dependent tasks in a reliable way, to do this it provides the minimal API.

  1. An API to add nodes in the graph (addDependency, addIndependent, addAsDependentOnAllLeafNodes)
  2. and the other to execute the nodes in order.

Install Dexecutor

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.dexecutor</groupId>
  <artifactId>dependent-tasks-executor</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Refer this for other options/build tools

Usage

Lets take a look at an example, here is the content of DefaultDependentTasksExecutorIntegrationTest, which would help you understand the API

@Test
public void testDependentTaskExecution() {

	DefaultDependentTasksExecutor<Integer> executor = newTaskExecutor();

    executor.addDependency(1, 2);
    executor.addDependency(1, 3);
    executor.addDependency(3, 4);
    executor.addDependency(3, 5);
    executor.addDependency(3, 6);
    //executor.addDependency(10, 2); // cycle
    executor.addDependency(2, 7);
    executor.addDependency(2, 9);
    executor.addDependency(2, 8);
    executor.addDependency(9, 10);
    executor.addDependency(12, 13);
    executor.addDependency(13, 4);
    executor.addDependency(13, 14);
    executor.addIndependent(11);

    executor.execute(ExecutionBehavior.RETRY_ONCE_TERMINATING);
}

private DefaultDependentTasksExecutor<Integer> newTaskExecutor() {
	return new DefaultDependentTasksExecutor<Integer>(newExecutor(), new SleepyTaskProvider<Integer>());
}

private ExecutorService newExecutor() {
	return Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
}

private static class SleepyTaskProvider<T> implements TaskProvider<T> {

	public Task provid(T id) {

		return new Task() {

			public void execute() {
				try {
					Thread.sleep(500);
				} catch (InterruptedException e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
			}
		};
	}		
}

As can be seen above, DefaultDependentTasksExecutorIntegrationTest requires two things

  1. Instance of ExecutorService : API would use this Service to schedule tasks
  2. Instance of TaskProvider : API represents graph using just the basic information (could be task id), it consults the TaskProvider to provide the task when it comes to actual execution.

##There are two phases

  1. Graph construction: When you say executor.addDependency(1, 2) it means tasks 1 should finish before task 2can start, executor.addIndependent(11) means as of now 11 does not depended on other nodes, but later time dependency to it can be added.
    executor.addDependency(1, 2);
    executor.addDependency(1, 3);
    executor.addDependency(3, 4);
    executor.addDependency(3, 5);
    executor.addDependency(3, 6);
    //executor.addDependency(10, 2); // cycle
    executor.addDependency(2, 7);
    executor.addDependency(2, 9);
    executor.addDependency(2, 8);
    executor.addDependency(9, 10);
    executor.addDependency(12, 13);
    executor.addDependency(13, 4);
    executor.addDependency(13, 14);
    executor.addIndependent(11);

Which would generate the following graph

Dependent Tasks Graph 2. Tasks execution

executor.execute(ExecutionBehavior.RETRY_ONCE_TERMINATING);
