[Pvfs2-developers] job interface

[Walter B. Ligon III]

I need a crash course in the job interface.

I need to add something a lot like the scheduler but without any 
intelligence.  Basically I'd like a SM to be able to post a job which 
will never have immediate completion.  Then later another SM posts a 
release that lets the first job go.  It looks like the stuff that 
already exists for the scheduler is pretty close to what I want, except 
I don't want any of the scheduler bits.  What isn't clear to me is how a 
job moves to the completed list, or how I can maintain a list of waiting 
jobs and look those up.  It appears some of that is going on in the 
calls in job.c but I don't know what's being done by the job layer and 
what is being done by the scheduler.

If someone who knows this stuff can email me so I can get a few 
questions answered then I can forge ahead myself.

Thanks!

Walt
