Abstract

A scheduling system for scheduling executions of tasks within a distributed computing system may include an entry generator configured to store, using at least one key-value data store, time windows for scheduled executions of tasks therein using a plurality of nodes of the distributed computing system. The entry generator may be further configured to generate scheduler entries for inclusion within a time window of the time windows, each scheduler entry identifying a task of the tasks and an associated schedule for execution thereof. The system may further include an execution engine configured to select the time window and execute corresponding tasks of the included scheduler entries in order.
