Josh Hursey e12ca48cd9 A number of C/R enhancements per RFC below:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/07/8240.php

Documentation:
  http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/

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.
