Abstract

Methods and systems for using a scheduler in a data pipeline are disclosed. A plurality of objects in a first layer are created, each representing a respective regularly scheduled task. A plurality of objects in a second layer are created, each representing a respective scheduled instance of a regularly scheduled task. It is determined whether each object in the second layer is ready to execute. For at least one object in the second layer, it is determined if the object has received notifications from any objects on which it depends. For each object that is ready to execute, the regularly scheduled task associated with the object is performed. For each object that is not ready to execute, the object is put to sleep.
