Package main is a stub for wr's command line interface, with the actual implementation in the cmd package. wr is a workflow runner. You use it to run the commands in your workflow easily, automatically, reliably, with repeatability, and while making optimal use of your available computing resources. wr is implemented as a polling-free in-memory job queue with an on-disk acid transactional embedded database, written in go. Its main benefits over other software workflow management systems are its very low latency and overhead, its high performance at scale, its real-time status updates with a view on all your workflows on one screen, its permanent searchable history of all the commands you have ever run, and its "live" dependencies enabling easy automation of on-going projects. Start up the manager daemon, which gives you a url you can view the web interface on: In addition to the "local" scheduler, which will run your commands on all available cores of the local machine, you can also have it run your commands on your LSF cluster or in your OpenStack environment (where it will scale the number of servers needed up and down automatically). Now, stick the commands you want to run in a text file and: Arbitrarily complex workflows can be formed by specifying command dependencies. Use the --help option of `wr add` for details. wr's core is implemented in the queue package. This is the in-memory job queue that holds commands that still need to be run. Its multiple sub-queues enable certain guarantees: a given command will only get run by a single client at any one time; if a client dies, the command will get run by another client instead; if a command cannot be run, it is buried until the user takes action; if a command has a dependency, it won't run until its dependencies are complete. The jobqueue package provides client+server code for interacting with the in-memory queue from the queue package, and by storing all new commands in an on-disk database, provides an additional guarantee: that (dynamic) workflows won't break because a job that was added got "lost" before it got run. It also retains all completed jobs, enabling searching through of past workflows and allowing for "live" dependencies, triggering the rerunning of previously completed commands if their dependencies change. The jobqueue package is also what actually does the main "work" of the system: the server component knows how many commands need to be run and what their resource requirements (memory, time, cpus etc.) are, and submits the appropriate number of jobqueue runner clients to the job scheduler. The jobqueue/scheduler package has the scheduler-specific code that ensures that these runner clients get run on the configured system in the most efficient way possible. Eg. for LSF, if we have 10 commands that need 2GB of memory to run, we will submit a job array of size 10 with 2GB of memory reservation to LSF. The most limited (and therefore potentially least contended) queue capable of running the commands will be chosen. For OpenStack, the cheapest server (in terms of cores and memory) that can run the commands will be spawned, and once there is no more work to do on those servers, they get terminated to free up resources. The cloud package implements methods for interacting with cloud environments such as OpenStack. The corresponding jobqueue/scheduler package uses these methods to do their work. The static subdirectory contains the html, css and javascript needed for the web interface. See jobqueue/serverWebI.go for how the web interface backend is implemented. The internal package contains general utility functions, and most notably config.go holds the code for how the command line interface deals with config options.
