When you have only one query with one source, scheduling is not a thing to think about, in other cases some options can be done by configuring the scheduler.

Scheduling in Odysseus has two parts:

1. Choose the query to schedule. This is done with the scheduler
2. Scheduler the plan of the query. This is done with the scheduling strategy

In ODYSSEUS_HOME a file called scheduling.conf defines the basic scheduling mechanisms:

defaultScheduler=<SCHEDULER>

defaultStrat=<SCHEDULING STRATEGY>

List of currently available Schedulers:

• ST Scheduler RR MS Limit Thread: This scheduler schedules different sources in multiple thread. You can configure how many sources should be scheduled by one thread. If more sources need to be scheduled a new thread is spawned
• Single Thread Scheduler RR Multi Source: This scheduler schedules different sources in multiple thread. Here you can define how many threads should be used to schedule all sources, independed of the number of sources
• Single Thread Scheduler RR: This scheduler schedules each sources in a different thread.
  
  
• Simple Dynamic Priority Scheduler: TBD
• Static Priority Plan Scheduler: TBD

• SLA Scheduler: TBD

List of currently available Scheduling Strategies (Availablity depends on contained bundles):

• Aurora Min Latency
• Aurora Min Cost
• Chain
• Chain (Iter)
• Biggest Queue
• Round Robin
• Round Robin (Iter)

With the following parameter (in odysseus.conf) the schedulers can be configured

• scheduler_simpleThreadScheduler_executorThreadsCount: How many schedulers should be used in parallel. If set to -1 (or not set) the number of processor cores is used. Save value = 1
• Scheduler.Simplethreaded.SourceThreadCount: How many threads should be used for all sources, independed of the number of sources
• Scheduler.Simplethreaded.SourcesPerThread (for ST Scheduler RR MS Limit Thread): How many sources should be access by one thread, if there are more sources, then a new scheduler is used
