Claim 14:
15. A computer-implemented method for controlling execution of a workload, the method comprising:
generating a first generation identifier associated with the workload;
communicating the first generation identifier to a first worker node to assign the workload to the first worker node;
determining that the master node and at least the first worker node are not in communication; and
in response to determining that the master node and at least the first worker node are not in communication:
determining whether permissive flags are enabled; and
in response to a determination that the permissive flags are enabled, communicating a permissive flag and a second generation identifier associated with the workload to reassign the workload to the second worker node, wherein the second generation identifier is associated with a higher priority than the first generation identifier and the permissive flag indicates that the workload should not be reassigned to the second worker node if the first worker node is processing the workload.
