Simple addon library to support background jobs for Edison Microservices.
This library offers the possibility to execute background jobs like, for example, importing data from other services on a regular basis.
Job information can automatically be persisted in a MongoDB if you use edison-mongo. Otherwise they are only persisted in memory. In clustered environments (multiple instances of a single service) it is generally a good idea to use some kind of persistence.
It is possible to persist job information in different data stores. In this case, a JobRepository must be implemented
and exposed as a Spring Bean.
Beside of starting a job programmatically via the Jobservice you can also use the graphical user interface which
comes with this library. Links to this UI are automatically added to the service´s /internal pages menu bar if
edison-jobs is added to the classpath.
The scheduling of the jobs is not part of this framework.
A former implementation of an external triggering is implemented by the archived Edison JobTrigger. We recommend the usage of internal triggers by using Spring's @EnableScheduling and @Scheduled annotations.
For the usage of edison-jobs take a look at example-jobs.

You can define JobMutex-Groups to define, that certain jobs may not be executed, while other specific jobs are running.
To define a mutex group you need to define a bean of type JobMutexGroup
