In my opinion, this function is useful when you want to relieve a BSP Peer to close and free the Task slot on Groomserver while other peers have few more superstep to work on. I know our current barrier implementation would fail with that. Will be working on this as a part of the BSP Peer API improvements.
For fault tolerance, especially when checkpointing received messages, I did not need this function. The nodes being ephemeral gets deleted in the scenario when I restart peer processes.
