             Summary: Use new discovery API
                 Key: SLING-2831
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2831
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: Extensions Event 3.1.4
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: Extensions Event 3.1.6


We should leverage the new discovery api in several ways:
With SLING-2829 we have an API which allows to detect the capabilities of an instance (= the jobs the instance can process). The discovery API provides a way to distribute this information across the cluster. The job handling should use this information to distribute the jobs to instances which are capable of handling the jobs.
I refer to this as the push based job distributed: once a job is created, the receiving instance can use the capabilities and push the job to an instance which is able to process this. This allows job processing without any additional overhead like locking etc.
With the new topology view of the discovery api, we can handle crashing/stopped instances, changes in capabilities etc. As these events usually require redistribution, we can use the leader election of the topology view to let only one instance do the task
