[infinispan-dev] Command cancellation
Hi,
I wanted to run by you guys design of command cancellation Manik and I
talked about recently. For more background regarding this task read
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1042
At originating node I would have each Cancellable command create its
UUID as part of constructor. After that command gets sent away to remote
VMs but just before it gets executed there we associated thread with
UUID by calling CancellationService.registerThread (as a first line of
code in Command#perform). After registration has been setup Cancellable
command goes into potentially lengthy (in seconds) execution. If needed
we would be able to send CancelCommand which would call
CancellationService#cancelTask with UUID. CancelTask would interrupt the
associated thread.
WDYT?
Regards,
Vladimir
Cancellation of tasks:
class CancellationService {
UUID registerThread(Thread t, UUID uuid) {
// put thread in map, associate with newly give UUID
}
void cancelTask(UUID uuid) {
// look up thread, interrupt if exists.
}
}
interface CancellableCommand {
UUID getCommandUUID();
}
command CancelCommand {
Object perform() {
// Calls CancellationService.cancelTask with UUID. The UUID is a
parameter of this command.
}
}
