Distributed Spring Batch Processing Without a Message Broker
The article proposes using the shared Spring Batch job repository as the full coordination layer for distributed partitioning, removing the need for a separate message broker. It describes a per-job master design, compare-and-set claiming to avoid duplicate execution, and a two-phase heartbeat approach for failover, while noting cases where a broker remains preferable.
