High Performance Batch Processing

One of the benefits of batch processing is its efficiency. This efficiency lends itself to the ability to bulk process very large volumes of data. Spring Batch 4.1 brings new enhancements to how we enable the scalability options within the framework. This talk will walk through performance tuning and scaling Spring Batch applications via the enhancements of 4.1.

Glad to see that Spring Batch became scalable, disappointed not to hear its disadvantages.

Hey I am not able to find the code for partitoning like the masterconfiguation and slaveconfiguation classes. Please provide the link if available thanks

[@ganesh.b.shinde]

Great work !! thanks for the detailed session on Spring Batch scaling with the coding example. Could you please share the code? git repo url?

[@user-qi2sd7ou3i]

I hoped to hear about batch processing. More precise about running multi batches on single machines vs on multiple machines

[@user-qs5ok4ti1n]

Great explanation. We implemented spring batch with schduler but we are having an issue. we have a job with two steps. In first Step, we read records from database using chunk with size of 10 and using kafkaItemWriter post messages. In second step, reading records from database again and updating them as processed, so that these records will not be processed. our issue is some times some messages are failed to post, but updates records as processed in second step. we are assuming couple of reasons. Our pods which hosting spring batch job are dying so fast during horizontal auto scaling or may be in second step reading different set of records and updating as processed, so that those records are prematurely setting as processed.

[@VaibhavBhanawatvaibhan]

Need one help.. I am using partitioning in my use case. I have ItemReader, processor and writer.. I am partitioning records. After processing I am writing back data in DB. I observed there is some data inconsistency in DB. Sometimes one of the slaveStep : partition fails or sometimes data is not committed in DB.. It is random. How Spring Batch creates Transactions. Is it transaction per Partition ? Or do we need to maintain thread synchronization ?

[@umap5624]

A*1*S B*2*d*r*d Hi, i have this kind of txt file. Based on the first column value of every record, i need to store the record in corresponding table. Means First record starts with A so i need to store this record in one table. Second record starts with B so i need to store this reocord in second table. Is it possible ?

How can run N worker nodes on kubernetes without shutting down the worker pods after job execution completes?

[@phanikumarvidiyala3427]

Is there any video for using jpa

[@user-qs5ok4ti1n]

We are having an issue with our spring batch process. We have single job with two steps. In the First step, process reads with chunk size of 10 records from database in itemreader, and writes to message to kafka using KafkaItemWriterBuilder. In second step, process reads same records with chunk size of 10, which read in step again and updates them as processed so that next time these records will not be pickup to post message. We are using scheduler to run this job for every minute. Our issue is some times some messsges are failing to post message in first step, but updates database as processed in second step. How can we make sure if messages fails, then second step should not be executed.

[@shashikala5900]

If we are not sending actual data in remote partitioning then y do we need rabbit mq there

[@zainabahmedi8511]

Suppose there are 5 chunks which write data to db and if one of the chunk fails ,is it possible to rollback all the data committed by other chunk as well?

[@sivareddydornala5818]

Yes

[@benpracht2655]

Does every always have exactly 1 reader and 1 writer?

[@aravindkumar.tummala9415]

please help me I configured one job with one step consist of (Reader, Processor, Writer) and it is chunk based . now at a time I am launching that same job 2 times with different parameters . what actually happen is It reads data from one table and process it and copy that data into different table. so my problem is only one instance is getting completed and getting data into target table properly but for other instance I couldn't see data in target table. I used global variables in Reader, Writer, Processor, will that global variables cause any problem. please give me solution It is very urgent.......... Thanks In Advance

[@zakb.7108]

I would love to see how the master can be a worker at the same time.

[@mathemsnkwana2225]

What happens if you run multiple instances (pods) on a spring batch application? Will it create duplicates. Please someone advise anyone ??

[@arghyamitra3281]

If you are persisting the data using itemWriter to a database table , then the primary key should able to handle ..no matter how many instances u run

Hello RemoteChunkingMasterStepBuilderFactory is deprecated now how can i replace it?

[@emrenuri4589]

You may figure it out by looking at the javadoc of that particular class. If you use IDEA, when you open that class there should be an option "download sources". Afterwards, you'll be able to read javadocs. If a class is deprecated, it is always mentioned what to use now and sometimes why its deprecated as well. cheers ✌

Talk about passing items between steps. Spring seems to have forgotten that elephant in the room

[@AAA-io7tj]

Been wondering for a while as to why Spring Batch still uses JDBC instead of JPA.

[@michaelminella]

Internally, Spring Batch uses JDBC because it's a more efficient use and we don't want to require the added dependency.

[@miguelpetrarca5540]

Great video! one thing that was not clear, are steps made up of 1:n tasklets? or is a tasklet used to defined what happens within a step.

[@eimaisklhros]

There are two kind of steps. 1. Tasklet based and 2. chunk based . Chunk based steps consist of a reader and a writer(optionally a processor). Tasklet steps are consist of just a tasklet. An example use case could be as follows. You need to parse a text file from a directory write it as xml, then send it over to another server. You would use a chunk based step and a tasklet step. First read the file, write it as xml then use a tasklet to send it over to another server. If you would want to check if you had parsed the same file before, again you would use a tasklet. Basically ETL(Extract Transform Load) is the chunk based step, and Tasklet is special isolated actions. The "do this and nothing else" - exmpl send this file or check something or move that file to another folder etc. all of these are stand alone tasklets. With that said "one thing that was not clear, are steps made up of 1:n tasklets?" Steps are made of whatever you want them to be. many tasklets, one tasklet, no tasklet, ETL steps etc. Depends on your use case. "or is a tasklet used to defined what happens within a step" Technically a tasklet alone could be one step, so whatever code you write within the tasklet, defines what the step will be all about.

[@farfazzi]

afaik in a single step you cant put more than 1 tasklet, if im wrong could you provide an example, thank you
