We've been fighting the battle of trying to create a regex generator and
parser that can handle arbitrary hostname schemes - without long-term
success. The worst of it is that there is no way of checking to see if
the computed regex is correct short of parsing it and doing a
character-by-character comparison with the original string. Ugh...there
has to be a better solution.
One option is to investigate using 3rd-party regex libraries as
those are coming from communities whose sole focus is resolving that
problem. However, someone would need to spend the time to investigate
it, and we'd have to find a license-friendly implementation.
Another option is to quit beating our heads against the wall and just
compress the information. It won't be as much of a reduction, but we
also won't keep hitting scenarios where things break. In this case, it
seems that "perfection" is definitely the enemy of "good enough".
This PR implements the compression option while retaining the
possibility of people adding regex-generating components. The
compression code used in ORTE is consolidated into the opal/compress
framework. That framework currently held bzip and gzip components for
use in compressing checkpoint files - since we no longer support C/R, I
have .opal_ignore'd those components.
However, I have left the original framework APIs alone in case someone
ever decides to redo C/R. The APIs of interest here are added to the
framework - specifically, the "compress_block" and "decompress_block"
functions. I then moved the ORTE zlib compression code into a new
component in this framework.
Unfortunately, the framework currently is a single-select one - i.e.,
only one active component at a time. Since I .opal_ignore'd the other
two and made the priority of zlib high, this isn't a problem. However,
if someone wants to re-enable bzip/gzip or add another component, they
might need to transition opal/compress to a multi-select framework.
Included changes:
* Consolidate the compression code into the opal/compress framework
* Move the ORTE zlib compression code into a new opal/compress/zlib
component
* Ignore the bzip and gzip components in opal/compress framework
* Add a "compress_base_limit" MCA param to set the threshold above which
we compress data - defaults to 4096 bytes
* Delete stale brucks and rcd components from orte/grpcomm framework
* Delete the orte/regx framework
* Update the launch system to use opal/compress instead of string regex
* Provide a default module if no zlib is available
* Fix some misc multi-node issues
* Properly generate the nidmap in response to a "connection warmup"
message so the remote daemon knows the children it needs to launch.
* Remove stale references to orte_node_regex
* opal_byte_object_t's are not OPAL objects - properly release allocated
memory.
* Set the topology
* Currently only handling homogeneous case
* Update the compress framework files to conform
* Consolidate open/close into one "frame" file. Ensure we open/close the
framework

Aside from comments, these help files are empty -- so just remove
them. Also remove a few inclusions of show_help.h, since it isn't
used in those source files.

pkg{data,lib,includedir}, use our own ompi{data,lib,includedir}, which is
always set to {datadir,libdir,includedir}/openmpi. This will keep us from
having help files in prefix/share/open-rte when building without Open MPI,
but in prefix/share/openmpi when building with Open MPI.

Major Changes:
--------------
* Added C/R-enabled Debugging support.
Enabled with the --enable-crdebug flag. See the following website for more information:
http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/crdebug/
* Added Stable Storage (SStore) framework for checkpoint storage
* 'central' component does a direct to central storage save
* 'stage' component stages checkpoints to central storage while the application continues execution.
* 'stage' supports offline compression of checkpoints before moving (sstore_stage_compress)
* 'stage' supports local caching of checkpoints to improve automatic recovery (sstore_stage_caching)
* Added Compression (compress) framework to support
* Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies
* {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration
* {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery
* Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component
* Added CR MPI Ext functions (enable them with {{{--enable-mpi-ext=cr}}} configure option)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Checkpoint}}} (Fixes trac:2342)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Restart}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Migrate}}} (may need some more work for mapping rules)
* {{{OMPI_CR_INC_register_callback}}} (Fixes trac:2192)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_start}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_checkpoint}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_end}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}}
* The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future.
* Add a progress meter to:
* FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter)
* SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter)
* SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter)
* Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart
* --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed.
* --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413)
* Deprecated some MCA params:
* crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared
* snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref
* snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported
* snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem
Minor Changes:
--------------
* Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing.
* Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components
* Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it.
* Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}}
* Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set.
* opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality.
* Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework.
* Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably).
* Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement.
* We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}.
* Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface).
* Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive.
* {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked.
* {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting
* {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality.
* Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}.
* Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped.
* Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away.
* odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options.
* Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities.
* Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path.
* A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job
* Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart.
* Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment)
* Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.
