job manager: rename `start_job` callable to `create_job` #647

Open soxofaan opened 3 weeks ago

soxofaan commented 3 weeks ago

MultiBackendJobManager.run_jobs has a start_job callable to create a job and, as suggested by its name, to start it too. However, blindly starting each job on creation is actually an anti-pattern with the job manager (which knows better when to start jobs, based on capacity).

We should rename start_job to create_job to make the better usage pattern more obvious

FYI I think we can do this rename while keeping start_job support for some time. We're already doing that with output_file
