I need some assistance on whether I should be using Quartz or simply use the Java timer service.
I am building an application which will poll the database every second for a status change. When there is a "successful" status I will get that entry from the table and do some processing before sending it off to another server.
The database table would likely have a lot of entries. Expecting there to be 1000s. Maybe 10,000s
This of course needs to be multithreaded. 1 thread to do the polling Perhaps a thread pool to manage the processing and sending a request to another server efficiently
I had looked at Quartz and the java Timer. Quartz seems a but overboard for what I need to do since I'll only need one timer.
So my questions are: With my requirements is Quartz suitable? I'll need to poll every second or half a second on possibly 10,000s DB table entries does Quartz handle this ok?
