Question about term: Client vs User #19

Open Hyeonmin-Ha opened 9 years ago

Hyeonmin-Ha commented 9 years ago

According to REEF introduction, Client is the component which submit Job.

And according to Scheduler tutorial, User is the people or programs which use RESTful API of Scheduler.

In assignment 2 description, there are two sentences, "The client can inject one of the following Services as Task failure handlers into the interface." "Can your program successfully inject the failure handler the user wants?".

As I understand the description, "The client" and "the user" is same. Unless I am wrong, please specify this. Thank you.

The terms Client and User are referring to the same component: a 'person' who is interacting with the program. You may consider the Client and the User as the same thing (person), although in real-world cases more than one person would take the role of a Client or User

Thank you for answer. There is one more question about 'job'. If 'job' in assignment 2 is REEF job, 'Handler kills the job' means that the handler kills entire scheduler. Is it right?

Yes, you're right. "The handler kills the job" means the entire job is forced to be closed.
