Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for use in a distributed computing environment, for automatically scaling a cluster based on metrics being monitored. A cluster that comprises a plurality of nodes or brokers and supports one or more colocated partitions across the nodes, can be associated with an exporter process and alert manager that monitors metrics associated with the cluster. Various metrics can be associated with user-configured alerts that trigger or otherwise indicate the cluster should be scaled. When a particular alert is raised, a callback handler associated with the cluster, for example an operator, can automatically bring up one or more new nodes, that are added to the cluster, and then reassign a selection of existing colocated partitions to the new nodes/brokers, such that computational load can be distributed within the newly-scaled cluster environment.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for robotic task planning when a complex task instruction is provided in natural language. Conventionally robotic task planning relies on a single task or multiple independent or serialized tasks in the task instruction. Alternatively, constraints on space of linguistic variations, ambiguity and complexity of the language may be imposed. In the present disclosure, firstly dependencies between multiple tasks are identified. The tasks are then ordered such that a dependent task is always scheduled for planning after a task it is dependent upon. Moreover, repeated tasks are masked. Thus, resolving task dependencies and ordering dependencies, a complex instruction with multiple interdependent tasks in natural language facilitates generation of a viable task execution plan. Systems and methods of the present disclosure finds application in human-robot interactions.

Abstract: Managing batched jobs is provided. The method comprises receiving a job batch request from a client for a number of processing jobs. Each job is registered, and jobs that are ready for execution at a specified time are collected. For each collected job an instance of the job is locked to prevent duplicate execution. The locked jobs are queued, and a container is created for each job in the queue. A method of execution is determined for each job in the queue, and each job is then executed according the method determined for that job. Job events for each executing job are logged, a determination if a job was completed successfully is made according to its respective job events. A job status is updated for each completed job. The container of each completed job is then destroyed, and each completed job is unlocked.
