Feature Request For Scheduler

[Brandon Wirtz]

You don’t have to give me royalties, but I want to be named in the Patent on this one.

 

API by which the request can update how much longer it expects to take so that the scheduler can be more intelligent.

 

The use case is simple.

 

Request: Hey GAE I need all the John Smiths in area code 405

Instance: Do Look Up in Memcache.

                                If Found: Hey Scheduler I’ll be one in 5ms

                                If Not found: Hey Scheduler I’ll be done in 350ms

 

Request: Hey GAE I need You to Calculate the amount every John Smith who has a checking account with us has, and the average balance they have for the past 12 months.

Instance: Do 20 Looks Up in Memcache.

                                For each Found: TimeToFinish = TimeToFinish + 2Ms

                                For each Not found: TimeToFinish = TimeToFinish + 150Ms

                Tell Scheduler I will be done in TimeToFinish

I'll add another patent. Make it inteligent, let it learn from previous requests.

Ok, but describe the method for doing it. 

 

You can’t just tack on “Let it learn from previous requests” and get a patent.

 

If so I want a lot of them.

 

Build a Car and Let it learn from previous requests.

Build a Robot Maid and Let it learn from previous requests

Build a search engine and Let it learn from previous requests

 

:-)

 

My example assumes you know more than the scheduler could…

 

If you know that a query returns 50 rows and each row takes 150ms to process, you can tell the Scheduler how long until you need.

If you get 4 rows on the next request you wouldn’t want the scheduler to “learn” that the previous request took 12 x as long as this one will.

 

I think I specifically want a “Dumber” scheduler. That doesn’t Learn.

Besides feature requests like that end with Skynet.
