Simple addon library to support background jobs for Edison Microservices.
This library offers the possibility to execute background jobs like, for example, importing data from other services on a regular basis.
Job information can automatically be persisted in a MongoDB if you use edison-mongo. Otherwise they are only persisted in memory. In clustered environments (multiple instances of a single service) it is generally a good idea to use some kind of persistence.
It is possible to persist job information in different data stores. In this case, a JobRepository must be implemented
and exposed as a Spring Bean.
Beside of starting a job programmatically via the Jobservice you can also use the graphical user interface which
comes with this library. Links to this UI are automatically added to the service´s /internal pages menu bar if
edison-jobs is added to the classpath.
The scheduling of the jobs is not part of this framework. External triggering is implemented by Edison JobTrigger, but also internal triggers are easy to implement using Spring's @EnableScheduling and @Scheduled annotations.
For the usage of edison-jobs take a look at example-jobs.

You can define JobMutex-Groups to define, that certain jobs may not be executed, while other specific jobs are running.
To define a mutex group you need to define a bean of type JobMutexGroup
