Open questions:
- JOB ID question from Daniel
When I submit a job, I get a job ID back. My plan is to hold onto that job ID permanently for tracking. We have had issues in the past with Torque/Maui because the job IDs got recycled later and our internal bookkeeping got mixed up. So my questions are:
- Are job IDs guaranteed to be unique in HTCondor?
- How unique are they—are they _globally_ unique or just unique within a particular namespace (such as our cluster or the submit node)?- A Job ID (ClusterID.ProcID) is local jobid, a dns name of the schedd and the ctime of the queued logfile.
- It is unique to a schedd.
- We should talk with Daniel about this. They should craft their own ID. It could be seeded with a JobID but should not depend on just it.
- UpgradingHTCondor without killing jobs?
- Leaving data on execution host between jobs (data persistence)
- Ask about installation of CASA locally and ancillary data (cfcache)
