Considering using Scheduler but... is it still maintained

[tobiaseriksson]

Hi
I am evaluating different alternatives to schedule tasks, and this is a good candidate as we are basing a lot of out work on Scala, Akka, Cassandra and Kafka.
But when I browse through, I do not see any active work on it, quite some pieces of the code is 3 years old, the Cassandra migration directory uses deprecated cassandra calls.
So is this project still maintained ?
Is the solution still in use ?

Hi @tobiaseriksson, scheduler is still in use but isn't receiving regular updates. If you want to use it, you should be prepared to take on some maintenance yourself. Note that the lib hasn't been upgraded to Scala 2.12 or 2.13.

Thanx for quick reply David.

Trying to read inbetween the lines :-) are you saying that inhouse you still maintain it, but the github repo is not that frequently updated ?

From what I can see, Scala needs to be upgraded, kafka was like 0.6 or was it 0.10 and now they just released 2.4, and cassandra I am having a feeling you base it off of 2.x something, and it is 3.11. So a little bit of work then.

Just cloned it and built it, but got some errors, haven't had the time to look more into it

I'm afraid that in-house it does not see frequent maintenance :-(. The public GH repo is what we use internally as well.

I believe we're running it against Cass 2.x and Kafka 1.x.x right now.
