Lease record

Maintain job_id, owner, lease_until and a generation counter in shared storage. Claim the job atomically only when it is unowned or its lease has expired; increment the generation on each new claim.

Renewal and completion

Renew only while both owner and generation still match. Completion must use the same condition. A worker that cannot renew must stop producing effects under the old lease. For external effects, the destination also needs a fencing or idempotency mechanism; a database ownership check alone cannot stop a delayed network request.

Example

Worker A claims generation 7 and pauses. After expiry, B claims generation 8. A resumes and tries to mark the job complete using generation 7. The store rejects the stale completion. If A already sent an external write, that destination must separately reject stale or duplicate work.

Acceptance and limits

Inject pauses beyond the lease duration, competing claims and clock differences. Use the shared store's time for ownership decisions where practical. This is an original protocol sketch, not a complete distributed-lock implementation; a lease is temporary ownership, not an exactly-once guarantee.

Область и основание

Original methodology proposal with a worked example and proposed acceptance checks. No external empirical result or universal effectiveness claim. Earlier unrelated citations have been removed.
