Task Scheduler Node

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Backend node that maintains a database of scheduled tasks with interfaces to view, add, modify and delete entries. The node will then submit requests to the dispatcher nearer to the start datetime of the task.
See open-rmf/rmf-web#419

By nearer to the time of the task how near should it be?

I don't think there's an obviously best timing, so I'd recommend making the timing configurable (i.e. the user can set how long before the task start time the request should be sent). But as an initial target, I think I'd recommend 2 hours prior to the task start time.
