// Locker represents the required interface to lock jobs when running multiple schedulers.
// The lock is held for the duration of the job's run, and it is expected that the
// locker implementation handles time splay between schedulers.
// The lock key passed is the job's name - which, if not set, defaults to the
// go function's name, e.g. "pkg.myJob" for func myJob() {} in pkg
//
// Notes: The locker and scheduler do not handle synchronization of run times across
// schedulers.
//
//  1. If you are using duration based jobs (DurationJob), you can utilize the JobOption
//     WithStartAt to set a start time for the job to the nearest time rounded to your
//     duration. For example, if you have a job that runs every 5 minutes, you can set
//     the start time to the nearest 5 minute e.g. 12:05, 12:10.
//
//  2. For all jobs, the implementation is still vulnerable to clockskew between scheduler
//     instances. This may result in a single scheduler instance running the majority of the
//     jobs.
//
// For distributed jobs, consider utilizing the Elector option if these notes are not acceptable
// to your use case.
