Description Eric Radman 2022-04-01 12:59:39 MDT

Created attachment 24193 [details]
Add support for non-numeric hostranges

Currently slurm hostlist processing assumes that the hostlist is at the end

proxy1,proxy2,proxy3 -> proxy[1-3]

This patch enables slurm to compress and expand ranges that do not end with a number

proxy1c,proxy2c,proxy3c -> proxy[1-3]c

Has there been any progress on evaluating this patch?

Comment 2 Tim Wickberg 2022-05-17 14:11:24 MDT

Hi Eric -

You submitted this right before the 22.05 development freeze, and we've been busy working on closing that out. So this hasn't been looked at in detail yet.

Comment 3 Eric Radman 2022-05-18 06:39:44 MDT

No worries! Just wanted to make sure this was in the queue.

Checking back in on this ticket: let me know if there is a timeframe for review.

This is an essential feature for us. I am sure others would find it useful as well since this enables hostlists to accommodate a wider range of names

It would also be far better if we were not maintaining a branch with the patch applied.
