Arvados

Idea #9581

Updated by Tom Clegg over 8 years ago

h3. Use case 

 case: Administrators want additional control over how Arvados containers are dispatched to SLURM.    Some options they might commonly want to specify are @--account@, @--clusters@, or @--partition@.    crunch-dispatch-slurm should provide a simple mechanism for administrators to set arbitrary additional arguments to sbatch. 

 h3. Implementation 

 Add a command line flag, "-config path/to/config.json" (see source:services/keep-balance/main.go for an example) 

 Convert existing command line flags to config file entries. 

 <pre> 
 type Config struct { 
         SbatchArguments    []string 
         PollPeriod         time.Duration 
         CrunchRunCommand string 
 } 
 </pre> 

 Append the configured SbatchArguments to the existing arguments passed to exec.Command(). 

 h3. Tests 

 Just unit tests for sbatchFunc. 
 * Handles nil SbatchArguments correctly 
 * Handles non-nil SbatchArguments correctly
