Introduction To Spring Batch

Spring Batch provides reusable functions that are essential in processing large volumes of records, including logging/tracing, transaction management, job processing statistics, job restart, skip, and resource management. It also provides more advanced technical services and features that will enable extremely high-volume and high performance batch jobs through optimization and partitioning techniques. Simple as well as complex, high-volume batch jobs can leverage the framework in a highly scalable manner to process significant volumes of information.

Features

  • Transaction management
  • Chunk based processing
  • Declarative I/O
  • Start/Stop/Restart
  • Retry/Skip
  • Web based administration interface

Use-Case

In this article, we’ll go through how to create a Spring Batch Job from start to end for inserting high-volume data from CSV into a database with the help of Batch Core components which otherwise is a tedious process to do i.e. create a statement and execute the query.
Apart from the previously used strategies, Spring Batch provides us with an Admin Dashboard to monitor jobs, outcomes, and logs. And with @Transactional Annotation, we can roll back the entire transaction steps if an error occurred.
