Idea #7475
Updated by Peter Amstutz over 8 years ago
When a job cannot be satisfied by node manager, it will be queued forever with no feedback to the user (and almost no feedback to the admin, either). There are two distinct cases:
1) A job's @min_nodes@ request is greater than node manager's configured @max_nodes@. In this case, node manager silently skips over the job with no feedback as to why no nodes are being started.
2) A job's resource requirements for a single node exceed the available cloud node size. In this case, the only indication this is a problem is a message of "job XXX not satisfiable" in the node manager log (and even then only if debug logging is turned on).
If a job request cannot be satisfied under its current configuration, node manager should have some way of signaling this to the user.
