Hi,

We are using the 
Gearman-plugin<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Gearman+Plugin> 
(version: 0.2.0) at our Nokia's Continuous Integration environment together 
with Jenkins<https://jenkins.io/index.html> (version: 2.7.1). Except the Gerrit 
server, the entire CI environment is dockerized: Zuul servers, Jenkins Master 
instances and build executers being able to scale according the demand. The 
Gearman is being used to handle multiple Jenkins Master and build executers 
across the project.

We would like to start docker machines as build executors on demand and 
according the real CI load. However there seems to be a limitation at the 
Gearman-plugin (0.2.0), that all available build executors have to be know and 
running during plugin start-up time. Docker machines started and integrated to 
Jenkins after plugin start, won't be recognized by the plugin.

We found that is a known issue and documented at: 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Gearman+Plugin

=== CLIP ===
Known Issues
Adding or removing executors on nodes will require restarting the gearman 
plugin.  This is because Jenkins does NOT provide provide a way to listen for 
changes to executors therefore the gearman plugin does not know that it needs 
to re-register functions due to executor updates.
=== CLIP ===

The Gearman-plugin seems to be still maintained.
Do you know whether that issue has been taken up for next upcoming plugin 
release?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards.
