Changes for version 2.72_0950 - 2014-02-28
- HELIOS 2.80 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 -Resolved service/service_name inconsistency in Helios::Config API. Accessor method is set/getService, and the get/set/unsetParam methods take 'service' as a parameter. The set/getServiceName() methods are retained for backward compatibility. -Changed WORKER_LAUNCH_PATTERN names to be more descriptive: linear, dynmaic, optimistic. As before, linear is the default. -Filled gaps in Helios::Configuration guide and helios.pl POD. -Updated copyright info.
Changes for version 2.71_4770 - 2013-11-24
- Removed .pl extension from all new commands.
- Helios::Config->setParam(): fix so false values can be set.
- helios.pl: tweaks to database reconnect code.
- helios.pl: changes to command line option parsing so multiple jobtypes can be specified with multiple --jobtypes options.
- helios.pl: removed all use Error-based try {} catch {} blocks. This will allow future Helios versions to use exceptions based on Exception::Class rather than Error.
- Helios::TheSchwartz has been removed; Helios::TS has completely replaced it.
Changes for version 2.71_4460 - 2013-11-02
- Minor changes and fixes to new commands:
- helios_config_get.pl: fixed problem with not returning param values set in helios.ini.
- helios_config_set.pl: fixed problem with setting param values that evaluate to false.
- helios_config_unset.pl: changed output to make it more consistent with the other new commands.
- helios_job_status.pl, helios_job_info.pl: specifying --jobid no longer required; the first arg is assumed to be the jobid.
- helios_job_submit.pl: -v and -n now work in addition to --verbose and --no-validate.
- helios_service_status.pl: separated service version to its own line in output. Added '--epoch-time' option to report time in epoch seconds instead of localtime() format.
Changes for version 2.71_4350 - 2013-10-25
- NEW helios_service_status.pl - report service status.
- NEW helios_job_status.pl - report job exitstatus (if completed).
- NEW helios_job_info.pl - report job metainfo, args, and log msgs.
- helios_config_*.pl: added documentation.
- Helios::Config - fixed warning using getParam().
Changes for version 2.71_4250 - 2013-10-18
- Helios::Config:
- NEW set/get/unsetParam() methods to more easily work with individual config parameters in the HELIOS_PARAMS_TB table.
- NEW helios_config_*.pl commands to make Helios config params more accessible to shell scripts and other utilities.
- parseConfDb(): combined the 2 separate database queries into 1 to reduce database calls when config is updated.
- separated Helios config parameter documentation into Helios::Configuration POD.
- Helios::Service:
- Added JobLockInterval() functionality to control the amount of time jobs are locked from a Helios API. Previously, the only way to control the amount of time jobs were locked was to override TheSchwartz::Worker's grab_for() method.
- Changed hostname lookup handling to reduce the number of calls to Sys::Hostname::hostname().
- helios.pl:
- Changed cmd line option handling so --help and --version work again.
- Added startup message to report the dsn of the collective database helios.pl is connected to.
- Replaced most Error module-based try {} blocks with eval {}
- Updated POD with new cmd options and referenced Helios::Configuration.
- Helios::Job - replaced usage of Helios::TheSchwartz with the new Helios::TS class.
- Helios::JobType - added debug() accessor method.
- Makefile.PL: Added all helios_config_*.pl commands above and helios_jobtype_add.pl to EXE_FILES. Removed old LICENSE line.
Changes for version 2.71_4051 - 2013-10-04
- Added code for "virtual jobtypes" - jobtypes w/o a service class. Allows a service to handle jobs of multiple jobtypes without creating new service classes.
- NEW Helios::ObjectDriver class to improve driver init handling.
- NEW Helios::JobType class to represent jobtypes; there should no longer be a need to use TheSchwartz::FuncMap directly.
- NEW Helios::TS and Helios::TS::Job to:
- replace Helios::TheSchwartz as a full-featured TheSchwartz subclass.
- implement virtual jobtypes.
- fix [RT79690] by dumping Helios::TS::Job objects w/o arg() values before they are passed to the higher Helios layers.
- NEW helios_jobtype_add.pl to handle adding new jobtypes from the command line.
- helios.pl:
- now handles @ARGV completely differently to support virtual jobtype specification and add other options in future.
- uses Helios::TS instead of Helios::TheSchwartz
- Helios::Service:
- new, better constructor
- ton of NEW methods to support virtual jobtypes: set/getJobType() addAltJobType() set/getAltJobTypes() set/getAltJobtypeids() addAltJobtypeid() lookupAltJobtypeids() lookupJobtypeid()
- jobsWaiting(): rewritten to support multiple, "virtual" jobtypes
Changes for version 2.71_3860 - 2013-09-21
- Added PRIORITIZE_JOBS feature.
- Added WORKER_LAUNCH_PATTERN feature.
