Hi Dev,

I came across few requirements for For each. I would like to discuss these 
before i create few JIRA tasks.

1. Currently For each take the array list and run jobs based on array size 
without caring about the Array size. On grid resources it may not be optimal to 
run lot of jobs in parallel and some time we can run into Airavata software 
limits also. My idea is if we can make For each configurable with number of 
jobs in parallel limits. We can split the jobs in batches based on limit 
defined by workflow composer.

2. There can be a case if few jobs fail while submission (connection failure or 
other middleware failure) and rest of the jobs submit fine. We need to find a 
way to handle such failures. In case of connection we can retry job submission 
but if resubmission fails, we need to either cancel rest of the jobs or decide 
to accept partial results. 

3. Handle partial application failures. If i ran 20 jobs and only one did not 
produce results and if gateway is ok with results of 19 jobs and can run 1 
remaining job as a separate process.  We can have some attribute to contract to 
be strict check or not with few other attributes based on advise.  

4. Show some information about the number of jobs running/completed/waiting on 
the node. 

Thanks
Raminder
