Excellent plan of work. What you call the "Inner Pilot" looks, to me, like what we call a "computing element". By default Job Agents subs submit jobs to the "InProcess"...

Well the original plan was more elaborated, but if there's no real use case after these years, then we can close.

Few discussions (re)surfaced lately (CC @zhangxiaomei and @andresailer ), so I try a quick summary. Containerization helps in 2 cases: - isolation (for security) -- this is solved by using...

> 1. If to allow applications choose their own containers, do we need to extend JDL to allow such supports? The one Simon mentioned in the "Job Submission API (UserContainers...

I would refrain from adding something to the JDL: the dirac executable (wrote by the user) can take care of starting the job inside a container, if needed. Users might...

This comment is mostly for adding some info on non-DIRAC related stuff, that *might* be useful for non-CERN experiments: Following https://indico.cern.ch/event/1318715/contributions/5912142/attachments/2845423/4974903/RCS-IT%20Technical%20Committee_%20Registry.pdf CERN IT decided to > Develop a pilot for...

Hi, IIUC (correct me!) in BelleDIRAC you developed a specific Optimizer (in addition to those in https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/tree/rel-v7r3/src/DIRAC/WorkloadManagementSystem/Executor) that creates the "scouting jobs" and move the "master job" status to `SCOUTING`....

What I would suggest is: - in v7r3 you add the "SCOUTING" job status - in v8.0 you add the generic part of your implementation (optimizer and agent)

Before investigating the code, I am surprised that: - MJF is still deployed somewhere, while it is completely unsupported, and the last time I check that didn't even had a...

MJF is used when nothing else is found (for what regards TimeLeft). So, it basically won't be used when there's a known batch system. When this was initially coded we...
