#978: parameters to reverse un-enforced Cactus schedule ordering -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- the attached patch adds two new parameters to the flesh: * schedule_sort_mode - which affects the order of schedule items before enforcing BEFORE/AFTER * schedule_sort_warnings - which outputs warnings if a schedule item refers to a non-existing item in its BEFORE/AFTER modifiers
Neither one is intended to be used in production runs but they are useful for debugging a schedule. schedule_sort_warnings is intended to catch typos in dependency names and when one tries to order with respect to items hidden within a group. It will find a number of false positives for items that are only scheduled based on parameter settings. Eg. MoL's RHS NaN checker. schedule_sort_mode can be used to ensure that the schedule order does not depend on the (semi-random) order that Cactus generates for non-enforced ordering.
