Feature #10081
closed[CWL] Run several steps in single job
Description
Add workflow hint "arv:RunInSingleContainer" which uses cwltool to run a subworkflow as a single job in order to amortize the overhead of spinning up new jobs.

- TestWorkflow failing with run-tests because scatter2.cwl is not in tests/wf dir (it is in tests dir)
- I copied it into the tests/wf dir, but still failing (I did a reinstall as well)

The tests are fixed, thanks for catching that. Please take another look.

- Any concern about hardcoding this url: https://w3id.org/cwl/arv-cwl-schema.yml? (I couldn’t access it using my browser though)
- “raise Exception("Uh oh %s" % obj["location"])” -- may be you can clarify that the location be keep locator with so and so format?
- Does this update result in any unwanted “sequential” ordering of running jobs (instead of parallelization) resulting in longer test run times?

No, it is just pre-populating a cache, so it won't ever try to download from that URL. However I realize I should should probably change the URI to http://arvados.org/cwl to be consistent with the namespacing of the Arvados hints.

Ooops, that was a debugging check that should be removed.

This feature intentionally runs a series of steps in a single job using cwltool. Currently cwltool doesn't parallelize, so it will run those jobs sequentially. However much more time is saved by avoiding the overhead of spinning up additional crunch jobs than the lost opportunities for parallelism when each step only runs for a few minutes.
This has no effect on test times.
I'll update the ticket when I've addressed the first two items.

Actually, while the check was for debugging, it should stay. Improved the exception text.
