I remember that there is a delay for used nodes on nodepool to be cleaned, without zuul marking it used, new jobs could be assigned on the used node, which would be deleted later so new job would sure fail.

I’m doing something similar, but am just specifying nodepool nodes on the child 
jobs, with artifact copying in Jenkins. I don’t think you need JClouds at that 
point. Jobs that use nodepool nodes don’t have to originate with zuul. Or am I 
missing your restriction?

The problem with that is that we would then continue to have to rely on
JClouds to do slave management and we have two driving reasons for this
desire / need to switch to Zuul and Nodepool (or something similar)

1) Recent versions of the Gerrit Trigger plugin for Jenkins forget, or
do not update current triggers on JJB updates without someone either
manually clicking save in the job configuration UI or doing a full
restart of Jenkins. This is a bad thing for us, we're at nearly 2k jobs
managed via JJB many of which are generated by templates and a single
change can affect more than 100 jobs

2) JClouds is a single-threaded nightmare inside Jenkins and can easily
cause it to hang creation of new slaves, deletion of old slaves and
cause the Jenkins queue itself to not start jobs because a single job
got hung and JClouds gets confused. This along with it completely
forgetting about nodes that it started but they failed to connect for
some reason.

So, while that sounds like a viable solution, it's not :(

Even if zuul doesn’t support the flow you want, you can also still
use matrix, multijob, and downstream jobs on Jenkins itself to simulate the
same behavior, with zuul just monitoring the parent job. Mix and match
until you get the flow that you need.

Greetings,

We're working on transitioning our Jenkins system off of Gerrit Trigger
and JClouds to Zuul and Nodepool and have run into a bit of a snag.

We have some rather deep pipeline dependencies with our current
configurations where one job produces information and possibly artifacts
that are then passed on to one or more jobs downstream.

Is this sort of configuration even possible with Zuul? I can't seem to
find anything in the documentation that would explain how to do this. If
it's not currently possible, what would need to be done to extend Zuul
to support something like this?

As a simple example we're looking to something like this (please excuse
the bad ascii art)

                               / Verify1 \
Gerrit event -- Zuul trigger --   Verify2  -- PipelineJob1 -- Response
                               \ Verify3 /


What the documentation is leading me to believe is that I can't do that
extra PipelineJob1 (or multiple in serial / parallel)
