They are all similar but in this particular case this is definitely BAML's Quartz.

I think Minerva is clearly a reference to Athena.

  • Could be a misdirection because all of the rest fits Quartz to a tee.

    The Quartz database is called Sandra (referred to as Barbara here).

    The Quartz directed acyclic graph is called Dag (referred to as Dagger here)

    The Quartz job runner is called Bob (referred to as Walpole here which is a reference to Robert Warpole whose shortname is..Bob)

    These and the horrible proprietary IDE make it obvious which particular system he's describing.

    • How are the Barbara databases synchronized - as multiple nodes are mentioned ? The description makes it sound like it's just a large set of pickles in something like a Berkley DB?
