Idea #19246
open
Investigate running NextFlow on Arvados (possibly using TES)
Description
NextFlow supports a variety of backends, including AWS Batch, Azure Batch and TES , all of which exist at a similar level and with similar capabilities to the Arvados Crunch container request API.
https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/executor.html
Investigate potential for a Crunch backend for NextFlow and/or a TES compatibility layer for Arvados.

Updated by Peter Amstutz almost 2 years ago
- Uses a task wrapper script that's presumably built on the fly
- it looks like a bash script with custom bash functions
- Example custom bash function is nxf_s3_upload() which is a wrapper around 'aws' command line
- Backends provide a "FileCopyStrategy" which emit commands to the bash script which do the specific file download & upload for a task invocation
- For example, TES: https://github.com/nextflow-io/nextflow/blob/master/modules/nextflow/src/main/groovy/nextflow/executor/ScriptFileCopyStrategy.groovy
- Or AWS: nextflow/plugins/nf-amazon/src/main/nextflow/cloud/aws/batch/AwsBatchFileCopyStrategy.groovy
The bash script gets built here: nextflow/modules/nextflow/src/main/groovy/nextflow/executor/BashWrapperBuilder.groovy
The driver seems to be here:
nextflow/plugins/nf-amazon/src/main/nextflow/cloud/aws/batch/AwsBatchTaskHandler.groovy
Where newSubmitRequest() actually translates "nextflow.processor.TaskRun" to "com.amazonaws.services.batch.model.SubmitJobRequest"

Handles containers by building a Docker (or other container runner) command line on the fly, e.g.
nextflow/modules/nextflow/src/main/groovy/nextflow/container/DockerBuilder.groovy
Which gets injected into the do-everything bash script (in BashWrapperBuilder)
Seems to lean on Docker to pull the image on demand
