Sorry for the delayed response. My two cents: 1) "Hold" has some ambiguity as a word, since it can be both a noun and a verb. Using "hold" in a sentence will be confusing in documentation.
2) Here are some alternatives. Sadly, a lot of these words are quite long and could be painful for coding: - accomodation - allowance - booking - prerequisite - settlement - withholding -Ray On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 10:37 AM, Karthik Kambatla <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks > > We use the word "reservation" to mean both (1) reservations on nodes to > avoid starvation of big container asks, and (2) the recent SLA work.
