I apologize. Like I said before, the way I've implemented this, it seemed
pretty trivial. Foremost, I needed this for something else and decided to take
a shot at it. Missed the finer details, going by your comments.
You're right though. Back-tracking the execution graph will most certainly
be a better solution.
@StephanEwen , am I correct in assuming this functionality will be added
after (or along with) Job Session management?
[As for the memory issue though, if data is to be persisted across jobs,
we'll always have to keep the memory segments allocated even after the job
finishes. This is why I defined a separate owner, which can be later *garbage
collected* through a cache freeing mechanism.]
As far as merging it is considered, I wasn't sure myself from the
beginning. I had actually written an email with a link to my branch for
opinions, but ended up opening a PR instead of sending that. So no worries. I'm
closing this.
