Hi guys,
I want to bother you again with the hint stuff ;-)
As I regard only Pete said something to the hints so far. So I have no idea if
you like it or not. Propably you want (me) to modify it...
Pete mentioned that it is not good to add the hints to all operations, e.g.
the pvfs2 nope operation. I think it is good to have a hint for all
operations to provide the same mechanism to all ops, because we do not know
what researchers intend to do with it.
With the request ID I think I proved that such a mechanism could be used to
provide a new optional functionality.
Summary of the outstanding questions:
-Should all operations provide a hint ? If no, which should provide it ?
-Should the hint be given to the job / flow / trove layer. As a general
mechanism, which most people wanted to have, I think yes.
It might not be so interesting for BMI, also there are multiple
implementations already available.
-Is the hint mechanism provided ok ?
Have a nice day,
julian
