}

func (node *NodeImpl) Init() error
func (node *NodeImpl) Start() error
func (node *NodeImpl) Stop() error
func (node *NodeImpl) AddStartCallback(callbacks ...func())

#### Global Parameter Table

```go
type GlobalParamsTable struct {
	paramtable.BaseTable

	NetworkPort    int
	IP             string
	NetworkAddress string

	MasterAddress string
	PulsarAddress string

#### 5.4 Task

```go
type task interface {
	TraceCtx() context.Context
	ID() UniqueID       // return ReqID
	SetID(uid UniqueID) // set ReqID
	Name() string
	Type() commonpb.MsgType
	BeginTs() Timestamp
	EndTs() Timestamp
	SetTs(ts Timestamp)
	OnEnqueue() error
	PreExecute(ctx context.Context) error
	Execute(ctx context.Context) error
	PostExecute(ctx context.Context) error
	WaitToFinish() error
	Notify(err error)
}
```

#### 5.5 Task Scheduler

- Base Task Queue

```go
type TaskQueue interface {
	utChan() <-chan int
	UTEmpty() bool
	utFull() bool
	addUnissuedTask(t task) error
	FrontUnissuedTask() task
	PopUnissuedTask() task
	AddActiveTask(t task)
	PopActiveTask(ts Timestamp) task
	getTaskByReqID(reqID UniqueID) task
	TaskDoneTest(ts Timestamp) bool
	Enqueue(t task) error
}

type baseTaskQueue struct {
	unissuedTasks *list.List
	activeTasks   map[Timestamp]task
	utLock        sync.Mutex
	atLock        sync.Mutex

	maxTaskNum int64

	utBufChan chan int

	sched *TaskScheduler
}
```

_AddUnissuedTask(task \*task)_ will push a new task into _unissuedTasks_, while maintaining the list by timestamp order.

_TaskDoneTest(ts Timestamp)_ will check both _unissuedTasks_ and _unissuedTasks_. If no task found before _ts_, then the function returns _true_, indicates that all the tasks before _ts_ are completed.

- Data Definition Task Queue

```go
type ddTaskQueue struct {
	baseTaskQueue
	lock sync.Mutex
}
func (queue *ddTaskQueue) Enqueue(task *task) error

func newDdTaskQueue() *ddTaskQueue
```

Data definition tasks (i.e. _CreateCollectionTask_) will be pushed into _DdTaskQueue_. If a task is enqueued, _Enqueue(task \*task)_ will set _Ts_, _ReqId_, _ProxyId_, then push it into _queue_. The timestamps of the enqueued tasks should be strictly monotonically increasing. As _Enqueue(task \*task)_ will be called in parallel, setting timestamp and queue insertion need to be done atomically.

- Data Manipulation Task Queue

```go
type dmTaskQueue struct {
	baseTaskQueue
}
func (queue *dmTaskQueue) Enqueue(task *task) error

func newDmTaskQueue() *dmTaskQueue
```

Insert tasks and delete tasks will be pushed into _DmTaskQueue_.

If a _insertTask_ is enqueued, _Enqueue(task \*task)_ will set _Ts_, _ReqId_, _ProxyId_, _SegIdAssigner_, _RowIdAllocator_, then push it into _queue_. The _SegIdAssigner_ and _RowIdAllocator_ will later be used in the task's execution phase.

- Data Query Task Queue

```go
type dqTaskQueue struct {
	baseTaskQueue
}
func (queue *dqTaskQueue) Enqueue(task *task) error

func newDqTaskQueue() *dqTaskQueue
```

Queries will be pushed into _DqTaskQueue_.

- Task Scheduler

```go
type taskScheduler struct {
	DdQueue TaskQueue
	DmQueue TaskQueue
	DqQueue TaskQueue

	idAllocator  *allocator.IDAllocator
	tsoAllocator *allocator.TimestampAllocator

	wg     sync.WaitGroup
	ctx    context.Context
	cancel context.CancelFunc

	msFactory msgstream.Factory
}

func (sched *taskScheduler) scheduleDdTask() *task
func (sched *taskScheduler) scheduleDmTask() *task
func (sched *taskScheduler) scheduleDqTask() *task
func (sched *TaskScheduler) getTaskByReqID(collMeta UniqueID) task
func (sched *TaskScheduler) processTask(t task, q TaskQueue)

func (sched *taskScheduler) Start() error
func (sched *taskScheduler) TaskDoneTest(ts Timestamp) bool

func NewTaskScheduler(ctx context.Context, idAllocator *allocator.IDAllocator, tsoAllocator *allocator.TimestampAllocator,
	factory msgstream.Factory) (*TaskScheduler, error)
```

_scheduleDdTask()_ selects tasks in a FIFO manner, thus time order is garanteed.

The policy of _scheduleDmTask()_ should target on throughput, not tasks' time order. Note that the time order of the tasks' execution will later be garanteed by the timestamp & time tick mechanism.

The policy of _scheduleDqTask()_ should target on throughput. It should also take visibility into consideration. For example, if an insert task and a query arrive in a same time tick and the query comes after insert, the query should be scheduled in the next tick thus the query can see the insert.

_TaskDoneTest(ts Timestamp)_ will check all the three task queues. If no task found before _ts_, then the function returns _true_, indicates that all the tasks before _ts_ are completed.

- Statistics

// TODO

```go
// ActiveComponent interfaces
func (sched *taskScheduler) Id() String
func (sched *taskScheduler) Status() Status
func (sched *taskScheduler) Clean() Status
func (sched *taskScheduler) Restart() Status
func (sched *taskScheduler) heartbeat()

// protobuf
message taskSchedulerHeartbeat {
	string id
	uint64 dd_queue_length
	uint64 dm_queue_length
	uint64 dq_queue_length
	uint64 num_dd_done
	uint64 num_dm_done
	uint64 num_dq_done
}
```

// TODO

#### 5.6 Time Tick

- Time Tick

```go
type timeTick struct {
	lastTick Timestamp
	currentTick Timestamp
	wallTick Timestamp
	tickStep Timestamp
	syncInterval Timestamp

	tsAllocator *TimestampAllocator
	scheduler *taskScheduler
	ttStream *MessageStream

	ctx context.Context
}

func (tt *timeTick) Start() error
func (tt *timeTick) synchronize() error

func newTimeTick(ctx context.Context, tickStep Timestamp, syncInterval Timestamp, tsAllocator *TimestampAllocator, scheduler *taskScheduler, ttStream *MessageStream) *timeTick
```

_Start()_ will enter a loop. On each _tickStep_, it tries to send a _TIME_TICK_ typed _TsMsg_ into _ttStream_. After each _syncInterval_, it sychronizes its _wallTick_ with _tsAllocator_ by calling _synchronize()_. When _currentTick + tickStep < wallTick_ holds, it will update _currentTick_ with _wallTick_ on next tick. Otherwise, it will update _currentTick_ with _currentTick + tickStep_.

- Statistics

```go
// ActiveComponent interfaces
func (tt *timeTick) ID() String
func (tt *timeTick) Status() Status
func (tt *timeTick) Clean() Status
func (tt *timeTick) Restart() Status
func (tt *timeTick) heartbeat()

// protobuf
message TimeTickHeartbeat {
  string id
  uint64 last_tick
}
```
