hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform — Issue #1492: Generate thor group/slaves dynamically from group
Author: jakesmith

State: open

+ Update new environment via server, rather than circumvent via client
NB: Still possible, to tamper with /Environment, should possibly protect.
+ Introduce new slavesPerNode ThorCluster config option
This will superseded multiSlaves in new environments and will also make ThorCluster/Topology superfluous
+ Generate groups on dali start and/or environment update, generating appropriate "multslave" groups if slavesPerNode set.
+ Warn on environment update if newly generated group would mismatch existing and keep old unless "force" option
+ Change Thor to pull group from Dali each restart
+ Remove code that generates slaves/spares in configgen
