Abstract
Operation requests received from a tenant are added to a tenant-specific queue. A tenant scheduling work item is added to an execution queue that is shared with other tenants. When the tenant scheduling work item is executed, it copies up to a defined number of scheduled operations from the tenant-specific queue to the execution queue. The tenant-scheduling work item then re-adds itself to the execution queue. While the operations are executed and before the tenant scheduling work item is executed again, other tenants have an opportunity to queue their own operations. The tenant scheduling work item selects scheduled operations from the tenant-specific queue in the order they were originally requested until one of several conditions is met. Conditions may be based on how many operations are in progress, what kind of operations are in progress, and/or dependencies between operations of different types.
