Option for Bpipe to Retry a Failed Pipeline or Stage Automatically #64

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Sometimes certain operations are not completely reliable - whether just because 
the software is buggy, depends on unreliable network connections, hits 
transient resource starvation (eg. out of memory, file handles, etc). 

Having the whole pipeline terminate because of a transient issue is annoying 
and can waste a lot of time. It would be useful if Bpipe could have an option 
automatically retry a pipeline stage, or perhaps even the whole pipeline when 
it encounters such a failure.
