The challenge here is that you want to make sure it can't be used to recheck individual jobs until you have them all passing (like picking a pin and tumbler lock). The temptation to recheck-spam nondeterministically failing changes is already present, but this would make it considerably easier still for people to introduce new nondeterministic failures in projects. Maybe if it were tied to a special pipeline type, and then we set it only for the experimental pipeline or something? > > 2. the ability to request this recheck to run multiple > > times in parallel. eg if i just repeat the 'recheck' > > command many times on the same patchset # without > > waiting for results > > Yes, this too, would be _very_ useful for all the reasons you described. [...] In the past we've discussed the option of having an "idle pipeline" which repeatedly runs specified jobs only when there are unused resources available, so that it doesn't significantly cut into our resource pool when we're under high demand but still allows to automatically collect a large amount of statistical data. Anyway, hopefully James Blair can weigh in on this, since Zuul is basically in a feature freeze for a while to limit the number of significant changes we'll need to forward-port into the v3 branch. We'd want to discuss these new features in the context of Zuul v3 instead. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
