Hi, I'm looking at a way to execute long-running compositions of Actions, including waiting for human inputs with long timeouts in the range of several days.
The basic pattern is something like wsk.suspend(someEvent) // this line executes only after that someEvent is received AFAIK that's not currently possible out of the box - but I'd be happy to be proven wrong! Is anyone working on something similar, or are there any prototypes around that go in that direction? Two initial ideas that come to mind is taking inspiration from the way the Composer's Parallel combinator saves state [1], or pausing between invocations of Conductor Actions [2]. I haven't looked at the details of how those work so far. -Bertrand [1] https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-composer/blob/master/docs/COMBINATORS.md#parallel [2] https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/docs/conductors.md
