3.8. Passing of data input/output
As defined earlier, any job in the grid application needs to pass data in and out in the sense of a data producer and a data consumer.
There are various ways to realize the passing of data input and output that are to be considered during application architecture and design:
Command line interface (CLI) can be a natural way for batch jobs and standard applications to receive data. In this case, the data input normally will not be complex in nature, but consists of certain arguments used as parameters to control the internal flow of the job. Such CLIs can easily be integrated in scripts executed at the system level or within a given interpreter. The transfer of data to the job as a consumer happens immediately ...
