I need to execute seven distinctive processes sequently(One after the other). The data is stored in Mysql. I am thinking of the following options, Please correct me if I am wrong, or if there is a better solution.
Requirments:
Read the data from the Db, do the seven processes(datavalidation, calculation1, calculation2 ...etc.) finally, write the processed data into the DB.
Need to process the data in chunks.
My solution and issues: Data read:
- Read the data using JdbcCursorItemReader, because this is the best performing db reader - But, the SQL is very complex , so I may have to consider a custom ItemReader using JdbcTemplate? which gives me more flexibility in handling the data.
Process:
Define seven steps and chunks, share the data between the steps using databean. But, this won't be a good idea, because the data processes in chunks and after each chunk the step1 writer will create a new set of data in the databean. When this databean shared across the other steps, data integrity will be an issue.
Use StepExecutionContext to share the data between steps. But this may affect the performance as this involves Batch job repository.
Define only one step, with one ItemReader, and a chain of processes (the seven processes), and create one ItemWriter which writes the processed data into the DB. But, I won't be able to administrate or monitor each different processes, all will be in one step.
