Claim 11:
12. A computing device, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
selecting, by a processing node of a cluster of processing nodes, a first task from a task list,
sending, by the processing node to a task assignment repository, a first write operation with a first task identifier of the first task to assign the first task to the processing node,
detecting, by the processing node, failure of the first write operation based on the first task already being assigned,
selecting, by the processing node, a second task from the task list,
sending, by the processing node to the task assignment repository, a second write operation with a second task identifier of the second task to assign the second task to the processing node,
detecting, by the processing node, success of the second write operation, and
executing, by the processing node, the second task.
