+/**
+ * An interface that represents the job scheduler component. A JobScheduler
+ * is a daemon thread that handles scheduled jobs like cron would
+ * do with different jobs. This daemon wakes up at a pre-configured
+ * interval to see
+ * if there is any job to be done, if so, a thread is created to execute
+ * the job(s).
+ * <p>
+ * The interval <b>jobsScheduler.interval</b> in the configuration is
+ * specified as number of minutes. If not set, the default is 1 minute.
+ * Note that the cron specification for each job CAN NOT be finer than
+ * the granularity of the Scheduler daemon interval. For example, if
+ * the daemon interval is set to 5 minute, a job cron for every minute
+ * at 7am on each Tuesday (e.g. * 7 * * 2) will result in the
+ * execution of the job thread only once every 5 minutes during that
+ * hour. <b>The inteval value is recommended at 1 minute, setting it
+ * otherwise has the potential of forever missing the beat</b>. Use
+ * with caution.
