Support deferred job start time

Open milroy opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Issues #3271 (flux-core), #987, and #963 identify useful new capability for Fluxion: to allow a user to specify a time in the future for their job to start. If the job cannot start at that time, then Fluxion should reserve the job at the earliest time.

Functionally this is very similar to "allocate_orelse_reserve" with an "at" time in the future. This PR adds the desired capability.

TODO:

  • [ ] is specifying deferred_start in the optional jobspec system attributes the right approach?
  • [ ] how should we handle the Fluxion API? Currently a bool determines whether match_allocate also reserves.
