Definitions of tasks

Tasks are defined by one or more executables, as well as additional orchestration information.

Functions and containers are the two types of executables supported by SWEEP.

  • id: unique identifier

  • execution_configurations: list of dicts that defines what executables this task can consist of, and their priority.

    for function-based tasks: function_def_id is given, it must correspond to the id of a function definition that has been registered in SWEEP. See Creating function definitions.

    for container-based tasks: container_def_id is given, it must correspond to the id of a container definition that has been registered in SWEEP. See Creating container definitions.

  • successors: a list of tasks that should be invoked when the task finishes. this defines the DAG representing the workflow.

  • properties: optional task properties dict
