v0.17.0-rc1

HyperQueue 0.17.0-rc1

Breaking change

Memory resource in megabytes

• Automatically detected resource "mem" that is the size of RAM of a worker is now using megabytes as a unit.
  i.e. --resource mem=100 asks now for 100 MiB (previously 100 bytes).

New features

Non-integer resource requests

• You may now ask of non-integer amount of a resource. e.g. for 0.5 of GPU.
  This enables resource sharing on the logical level of HyperQueue scheduler and allows to utilize remaining part the resource
  by another tasks.

Job submission

• You can now specify cleanup modes when passing stdout/stderr paths to tasks. Cleanup mode decides what should
  happen with the file once the task has finished executing. Currently, a single cleanup mode is implemented, which removes
  the file if the task has finished successfully:

$ hq submit --stdout=out.txt:rm-if-finished /my-program

Fixes

• Fixed crash when task fails during its initialization
