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?

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.

Just checking in on this, is this something SchedMD will pick up or are there similar hostlist improvements planned/implemented?
