Hello, everyone.
I'm working on a Condor job-runner module for Galaxy that can provide better integration than the existing drmaa module. I'm sure I'll have many questions as I work on this module, but I have just a few to start with:
* What versions of Python does Galaxy support (i.e. which newer features of Python do I need to avoid)?
* What is the status of the 'staged' cluster deployment? The wiki says it's not in active use or development. But our Condor cluster doesn't have a shared filesystem, so we need to stage data files to/from the execute nodes.
* The wiki also says that even with the staged cluster deployment, a shared directory (galaxy_dist/database/tmp by default) is required for some tools. These tools write temporary files on the Galaxy server and read them on the execute node. Does anyone know which tools those are? Are these files ever written after the job is handed to the batch system? Do these tools write files into galaxy_dist/database/tmp on the execute ndoes and read the files on the Galaxy server?
Thanks and regards, Jaime Frey UW-Madison Condor Team
