Thanks for taking the time to do this. I hope the enhancement request implementation
by MM would also take the following factors into consideration:
a) the term "clustered" should be taken in light of "parallel", what I mean by that,
is the start of the execution of each thread would almost be instantaenous vs.
sequential. This part is extremely important because this is the core.
b) timeout setting probably for both top level (multithread) and low level (thread),
naturally with default value, if Sum(thread) != multithread, I'm talking about
timeout, then use the one specified by multithread.
However, the following challenge still remains: how could the Multithread piece be
intelligent enough to delegate/assign each similar task (parts of requests) to
thread1, thread2 ... threadn
probably thread1, thread2 ... n perform same or similar function.
Delighted Community of Practice is in action.
