Job Service

Architecture Overview

The Alluxio Job Service is a task scheduling framework responsible for assigning a number of different types of operations to Job Workers.

The Master is responsible for distributing a job into smaller tasks for the Job Workers to execute and managing the status of the job’s completion.

The Job Workers queues tasks from the Job Master and manages a configurable fixed threadpool (alluxio.job.worker.threadpool.size) to complete these tasks.

Different Types of Jobs

Load

Load Job is used as part of the fs distributedLoad CLI command and loads files to Alluxio with specified amount of replication

Migrate

Migrate Job is used as part of the fs distributedCp and fs distributedMv CLI command and is responsible for copying/moving with a specified WriteType.

Persist

Persist Job is used both indirectly as part of the fs persist CLI command and background persisting when writing to Alluxio with ASYNC_THROUGH WriteType.

The job is responsible for persisting a file in Alluxio to a particular ufs path.

Evict

Evict Job is indirectly used by fs free CLI command and replication background process.

The job is responsible for evicting a specified number of replicated blocks from Alluxio.

Move

Move Job is used by the replication background process to move blocks from one worker to another.

Replicate

Replicate job is used by the replication background process to replicate blocks from a worker to a specified number of other workers.

Inspection Commands

The job service provides a number of inspection commands.

fsadmin report jobservice

fsadmin report jobservice will report a summary of the job service.
