Feature #7816

Updated by Peter Amstutz about 9 years ago

This program runs on a worker host. It will be is invoked by the future Crunch2 dispatcher. dispatcher (possibly via slurm or ssh). Its responsibilities include: 

 # Retrieve the Container record with the given UUID 
 # Load the specified docker image from Keep 
 # Translate the Container specification to a "docker run" command line or invoke the container via Docker SDK 
 # Forward the executor's logging and container's stdout, stderr to the Arvados API as Log entries and to a collection 
 # Update the Container record to reflect the actual state of the container (progress/completion), exit code, logs 
 # Testing for all above features 

 Not included in this story: 

 * Start arv-mount on the host (if required by the container) and shutting it down when the container exits (#8015) 
 * Impose runtime constraints, using "docker run" arguments and other facilities (#8017) 
 * Report resources used by the container while it runs (presumably using crunchstat) (#8016) 
 * Save the container's output in the Container record (except logs) (#8020) 
 * log throttling (#8019) 
 * retry failure (#8018)
