Nathan Barry commented on CRUNCH-374:
-------------------------------------
I do not see running an empty pipeline as being an error state, to me it's a
successful action. The point you mention about PipelineResult#succeeded
returning false is the flow that caused us issue, we have had to add logic to
check for this state when we gather up stats at the end of our jobs.
> Pipeline.done returns READY when there is nothing to run

> It is odd that Pipeline.done() returns a PipelineResult with a status of
> “READY” when there is nothing staged in the pipeline when done is called. It
> makes sense to not return “SUCCEEDED” as that implies that something happened
> successfully, but “READY” isn’t a terminal state but it’s an initial state so
> checking for a status of READY after calling done is counterintuitive.
> Perhaps a new status of “DONE” should be returned in this case
