1.x.x: Features Wanted

[adamkewley]

This is a list of features that were cut from 1.0.0. They may be implemented during maintenance sessions for 1.x.x, but no guarantees.

If other devs want to have a go at these then be my guest.

Server

• Refactor job manager + job executor into scheduler, manager, persister, and executor abstractions (effectively, clean up the mess in that code section).
• OAuth2 support
• Authorization
• Execution hooks (see issue
• Execution triggers
• Job system tests (spec testing)
• Unified output API
• Windows Support
• Jobs pagination metadata (total pages, etc.)
• Job attempts (see issue)
• Dynamic number of job outputs (see issue)
• Symlinking job outputs (see issue)
• Job progress monitoring (see issue)
• Collect job outputs as the job runs (see issue)
• Execution triggers (see issue)
• Pluggable job schedulers (see issue)

UI

• Allow submitting raw job request through UI
• Add an elapsed time into the job details page
• Dynamically update "Latest Status" timer in job view
• Add upload loading bar when submitting a large job request so users know it's uploading something
• Add "resubmit" button, so a new job with the exact same inputs can be created
• Lock submission button while submitting a job request to prevent double-requesting
• Add link to API documentation
• Support rendering large stdout/stderr text
• Support Windows browsers (edge, IE11 at a push)
• Make job submission fail faster if submitting a very large request fails (OOM, server rejection)

Closing this because it's painfully obvious that my other projects have taken priority. I'll still be able to excavate it, should I get 3-6 months of time to do a Jobson v2 push.
