Add support for scheduler-file argument #234

Closed joshuacolvin0 closed 5 years ago

joshuacolvin0 commented 5 years ago

When --scheduler-location is passed to dask-scheduler on startup, it saves the location that the scheduler can be contacted. This is typically used by passing the same argument to dask-worker to simplify cluster setup, but it can also be used by pybnf to easily connect to the scheduler.

This is an alternative to dask-ssh, and allows more control over how workers are provisioned.

This feature should be documented in the "Configuration Keys" and "Running on a cluster" sections. If you don't want to do that now, I'll open an issue.

emitra17 commented 5 years ago

When we add this and its documentation (soon), it should include a brief discussion about what we've learned about processes vs threads, and how this is currently handled in the code.

Closing in favor of #239
