Abstract

The present invention relates to a method, system and computer program product for task failover in an unstable environment, wherein the unstable environment includes a plurality of reclaimable nodes. According to the method, it is monitored if any node of the plurality of reclaimable nodes is to be reclaimed. Whether a task on any node of the plurality of reclaimable nodes is recoverable is determined. Responsive to the task being recoverable, data of the recoverable task is stored. Responsive to a node being reclaimed and the task on the reclaimed node being recoverable, at least one associated task of at least one associated node of the reclaimed node is notified to wait.
