Spring Batch Multiple Threads

Question

I am writing a Spring Batch with idea of scaling it when required. My ApplicationContext looks like this

@Configuration
@EnableBatchProcessing
@EnableTransactio         


        

Answer 1

This is a big question

1. Your best bet at getting a good answers would be to look through the Scaling and Parallel Processing chapter in the Spring Batch Documentation (Here)

2. There might be some multi-threading samples in the spring batch examples (Here)

3. An easy way to thread the Spring batch job is to Create A Future Processor - you put all your Processing Logic in a Future Object and you spring-processor class only adds Objects to the future. You writer class then wait on the future to finish before performing the write process. Sorry I don't have a sample to point you too for this - but if you have specific questions I can try and answer!
