Default job name of restarted simulations

[samwaseda]

I'm currently working on Damask where restarting is part of job routines. In the current setting, the default job name is job_restart if the job name of the old job is job. This causes a bit of problems when the job has to be let's say run 10 times, which will be something like job_restart_restart_restart_..._restart. I'd like to change it but I also wanted to hear your opinions

• Possibility 0: Leave it like this
• Possibility 1: Replace it by rerun_{index} (or restart, but rerun is shorter)
  • This makes it difficult to bundle all the simulations, because the first run won't contain rerun, so if we use a for loop it's gonna be like all_jobs = [pr.load("job")] + [pr.load(f"job_rerun_{counter}") for counter in range(5)] (which is still WAY easier than the current setting).
  • We could potentially check if job_restart exists and make a warning for the backward compatibility
• Possibility 2: Create a new entry in the job table for the counter
  • It's probably a nightmare for the backward compatibility
  • We wouldn't have a problem with user accidentally using rerun or restart in the job name (because in the option above we would have to parse rerun or restart)
