R Version 2: Differentiate globally versus locally valid data #264
Description
There a few pieces of information that are useful/necessary to include in R but that should not be ingested by sub-instances because it is only valid in the current instance. Two examples include:
- Rank information
- The label passed through from jobspec onto matched resources
It would be nice if we had a space in R dedicated to this, that sub-instances can (and should) ignore. In the strawman in flux-framework/flux-sched#743, we added an "ephemeral" key containing a dict to each resources within JGF. This stores the locally valid jobspec label information.
