=============================== Release Notes for PEGASUS 3.0.3 =============================== This is a minor release, that fixes some bugs and has minor enhancements. NEW FEATURES -------------- 1) job statistics file has a num field now The job statistics file has statistics about Condor jobs in the workflow across retries. There is now a new field called num added that indicates the number of times JOB_TERMINATED event is seen for a Condor Job. 2) improvements to pegasus-monitord When using MySQL, users no longer are required to create the database using the 'latin1' character encoding. Now, pegasus-monitord will automatically create all tables using the 'latin1' encoding. When using MySQL, the database engine used by Pegasus-monitord is set to 'InnoDB'. This prevents certain database errors and allows for improved performance. 3) inherited-rc-files option for pegasus-plan pegasus-plan has a new option --inherited-rc-files, that is used in hierarichal workflows to pass the file locations in the parent workflow's DAX to planner instances working on a subdax job. Locations passed via this option, have a lower priority than the locations of files mentioned in the DAX. 4) Turning off priority assignments to condor jobs By default, Pegasus add a condor priority to a job based on the level of the workflow the job is at. The Boolean property pegasus.job.priority.assign can be used to turn off the default assignment of priorities. BUGS FIXED ---------- 1) Fixed a bug in the code handling SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 that caused pegasus-monitord to abort due to an out-of-bounds condition. 2) Fixed Python 2.4 compatibility issue that caused pegasus-monitord to abort when receiving a SIGUSR1 or SIGUSR2 to change its debugging level. 3) pegasus-transfer failed on scp if the destination URL was a file URL This is now fixed. More details at https://jira.isi.edu/browse/PM-375 4) pegasus transfer failed on scp if the destination host was not in users know_hosts. This is now fixed. More details at https://jira.isi.edu/browse/PM-374 5) pegasus-plan had a potential stack overflow issue that could occur while calling out to transformation selectors that return more than one entry. 6) Destination file url's were not correctly replaced with symlink protocol scheme in the case where the destination site had a file server ( url prefix file:/// ). =============================== Release Notes for PEGASUS 3.0.2 =============================== This is a minor release, that fixes some bugs and has minor enhancements. NEW FEATURES -------------- 1) New Pegasus Properties for pegasus-monitord daemon The pegasus-monitord daemon is launched by pegasus-run while submitting the workflow, and by default parses the condor logs for the workflows and populates them in a sqllite DB in the workflow submit directory. pegasus.monitord.events - A Boolean Property indicating whether to parse and generate log events or not. pegasus.monitord.output - This property can be used to specify the destination for generated log events in pegasus-monitord 2) Improvements to pegasus-monitord pegasus-monitord now does batches evennts before popualating them in to the stampede backend. 3) New entries in braindump file The braindump file generated in the submit directory has two new keys. The braindump file has two extra entries now properties - path to the properties file condor_log - path to the condor log for the workflow 4) pegasus-transfer supports ftp transfers in unauthenticated mode. BUGS FIXED ---------- 1) Failure of rescue dags if submit directory on NFS. Pegasus creates a symlink in the submit directory to the condor log file for the workflow in /tmp . In case the workflow failed and the submit directory was on NFS, pegasus-run on rescue would take a backup of the symlink file in the submit directory. This resulted in the workflow failing on resubmission, as the condor log now pointed to a file in the submit directory that was on NFS. pegasus-submit-dag was fixed to copy the symlinked log while rotating instead of copying just the symlink.
