Another approach would be keeping the `SampleSet._future` around even after it is resolved and then the `remote_status` etc can be read off of it. The downside is that depending on...

I think there are two specific features we'd like to support: 1) Graph validation. This can be done now with ``` all(v in sampler.adjacency for v in bqm.variables) and (u...

Yes, it should subclass both, [like the DWaveSampler](https://github.com/dwavesystems/dwave-system/blob/789fea75653aadc5b4dbe98c55721db3fa7d508a/dwave/system/samplers/dwave_sampler.py#L66).

This is a known problem. See #91, #169. Most likely the solution (for now) is to instantiate a single `DWaveSampler` instance and use that for all sampling rather than re-creating...

Definitely a feature we could (easily) add. But in the mean time you could get the same effect with just using the same set of composites https://github.com/dwavesystems/dwave-system/blob/7b702351f61294459db475fa4fe92aac1f44f16d/dwave/system/samplers/clique.py#L406

You'll need to also add this to the docs, and resolve any doctest failures. I think the simplest would be to edit https://github.com/dwavesystems/dwave-system/blob/master/docs/reference/utilities.rst to something like ```rst .. _utilities_system: =========...

@JoelPasvolsky , I am not sure I understand, can you make a quick pseudo code snippet like above?

Part of the reason is that we generally consider the attributes of the dimod Samplers to be 'static', because otherwise you might get things like ``` >>> qpu = DWaveSampler()...

[`DQM.to_file()`](https://github.com/dwavesystems/dimod/blob/5d2043d0b662f38bd51e062367c2e4b703b457a1/dimod/discrete/discrete_quadratic_model.py#L767) supportes `compress`, it would be pretty easy to add it to CQM/BQM if desired. Would need to measure the performance

Sure, made an issue https://github.com/dwavesystems/dimod/issues/1235. I do wonder what the memory/time cost of compressing the overall model rather than the individual parts in multi part upload. Obviously compressing the overall...
