In exactly every one second. Now, this read group has to be pushed to an in-memory database (HSQLDB) but the way it gets persisted is different. There are slots available to persist the values of the group. The elements of C & D should get persisted at every 3rd second and elements A & B should get persisted at every 5th second. So at every 3rd second, all the elements of C & D should get persisted and same goes for elements A&B at every 5th second. By the way, these elements are tickers which are used in Financial industry. I searched a lot for any framework that fits into this and came across Spring Batch. There are in-built Reader and Writer to do such tasks. Also, there is Processor to process the data before getting written by the writer. I looked in the docs of Spring Batch and could not find much help for incorporating my requirement. Though there is `Chunk processing` and `commit interval`. My Questions:

1. How shall I set the Time interval of every second in the reader?
2. How the chunk of 4 items to read from the file gets set for every second?
3. How to set the writer to persist only the elements (A&B) in every 5th second and elements (C&D) in every 3rd second?

My Job configuration in job-config.XML is:
