suitedNodes

List<String> suitedNodes(T constraint)

Returns a list of best suited node (instanceId) based on the constraint

Parameters:

constraint - To find best suited nodes for

Returns:

List of best suited Quartz instanceId

verify

void verify(T constraint)
            throws LocalityException

Verifies the validity of a constraint. Throws exception should the constraint fail to validate.

Parameters:
