An image is a node property, not a group property. Operations like, "I just updated an image, let me update all the affected nodes" should be handled as a query to find the nodes that claim the image, followed by an update of those nodes. This (and getting rid of other node properties from groups) then permits groups as an abstraction. Groups can contain zero or more groups and zero or more nodes. It also means that you don't need to maintain "compound" groups, like "all smp nodes that have myrinet" -- that can just be the intersection of the smp and myrinet groups. As another example, row groups contains rack groups, and rack groups contain nodes. -- David N.
