Job scheduling and monitoring in a distributed computing environment
First Claim
1. A method performed by a system comprising at least one processor coupled to a memory storing machine-executable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, control the system to perform acts comprising:
- conveying, for display on a display device, a timeline view of a data-transformation job schedule in terms of one or more data slices comprising pieces of data of a continuum comprising a data set, wherein each data slice is generated or consumed by a data-transformation job and includes a length, and start and end times;
receiving a first signal from a user selecting a data slice from the one or more data slices in the view;
determining one or more related data slices to the user selected data slice automatically based on data dependencies, wherein the one or more related data slices comprise at least one of one or more data slices that depend from the user selected data slice or one or more data slices from which the user selected data slice depends; and
conveying, for display on the display device, a visualization of the user selected data slice and the one or more related data slices visually distinct from one or more other data slices in the timeline view.

Abstract
Job execution can be scheduled and monitored. Execution of a job results in generation of one or more data slices, which can be consumed as input by one or more related jobs. Data slices can be presented in an interactive view. Selection of a data slice in the view can trigger automatic identification of related data slices based on dependencies between data slices. Each data slice can also include and be presented with a status indicating the availability of corresponding data, such as pending, ready, or failed. Furthermore, selection of a data slice that failed to generate successfully can trigger identification of related data slices that failed or are predicted to fail to generate successfully.

10. A computer system, comprising:
-
a processor coupled to a memory, the processor configured to execute machine-executable instructions stored in the memory that when executed perform acts comprising; conveying, for display on a display device, a timeline view of a data-transformation job schedule in terms of one or more data slices comprising pieces of data of a continuum comprising a data set, wherein each data slice is generated or consumed by a data-transformation job and includes a length, and start and end times; detecting a first signal from a user selecting a data slice from the one or more data slices in the view; determining one or more related data slices to the user selected data slice automatically based on data dependencies, wherein the one or more related data slices comprise at least one of one or more data slices that depend from the user selected data slice or one or more data slices from which the user selected data slice depends; and conveying, for display on the display device, a visualization of the user selected data slice and the one or more related data slices visually distinct from one or more other data slices in the view. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that enable at least one processor to perform a method upon execution of the instructions, the method comprising:
-
conveying, for display on a display device, a timeline view of a data-transformation job schedule in terms of one or more data slices comprising pieces of data of a continuum comprising a data set, wherein each data slice is generated or consumed by a data-transformation job and includes a length, and start and end times; receiving a first signal from a user selecting a data slice from the one or more data slices in the view; determining one or more related data slices to the user selected data slice automatically based on data dependencies, wherein the one or more related data slices comprise at least one of one or more data slices that depend from the user selected data slice or one or more data slices from which the user selected data slice depends; and conveying, for display on the display device, a visualization of the user selected data slice and the one or more related data slices visually distinct from one or more other data slices in the view. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
