Termination State Service
This page documents the configuration for Opencast module terminationstate-impl.
This module is provided as a convenience when you wish to terminate the Opencast process or the machine it is running on, when Opencast may still be processing jobs you want to complete. It also forms the basis for more sophisticated services that assist the dynamic scaling of nodes in cloud environments, see AWS AutoScaling: Termination State Service
It does not terminate the Opencast process or the instance itself.
The default termination state is "none". If the termination state is set to "wait" it will:
- put the node in maintenance mode, to stop accepting new jobs
- periodically check for running jobs
- when no jobs are running it will set the termination state to "ready"
The termination state can then be monitored and the action completed when the state is changes from "wait" to "ready".
