Lockless systems and methods for stateful workload distribution

A device for distributing stateful workloads to a cluster, comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and configured to execute the instructions to:
• store, in the one or more memories, a previous configuration received from a shared database, wherein the previous configuration includes a previous indication of a previous owner of a stateful workload;
• obtain, for the cluster and from the shared database, a configuration including an indication of a current owner of the stateful workload;
• based on determining that the cluster is the current owner and the previous owner, provide a response to a job handler to process a next state of the stateful workload;
• based on determining that the cluster is the current owner and not the previous owner, provide a response to a job handler to wait a duration and then process a next state of the stateful workload;
• and
• based on determining that the cluster is the not current owner, refrain from processing the stateful workload.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations for distributing stateful workloads to clusters, comprising:

• obtaining a previous configuration from a shared database, wherein the previous configuration includes a previous indication of a previous owner of a stateful workload;
• obtaining, for a cluster and from the shared database, a configuration including an indication of a current owner of the stateful workload;
• based on determining that the cluster is the current owner and the previous owner, providing a response to a job handler to process a next state of the stateful workload;
• based on determining that the cluster is the current owner and not the previous owner, providing a response to a job handler to wait a duration and then process a next state of the stateful workload;
• and
• based on determining that the cluster is the not current owner, refraining from processing the stateful workload.
