NAME

    HPCI::Super

SYNOPSIS

Role for attributes and methods that are common to group and subgroup classes (i.e. those superior to a stage-like class).

ATTRIBUTES

stage_defaults

This attribute can be given a hash reference containing values that will be passed to every stage created. Subgroups that are not provided with their own specific hash use their parent groups' hash. The top level group defaults to an empty hash.

METHODS

$group->stage( name=>'stagename', ... )

Creates a stage and adds it to the group. See HPCI::Stage for the generic parameters you may provide for a stage; and see HPCD::$cluster::Stage for the cluster-specific parameters for the actual type of cluster you are using.

Note: this is the only way to add a stage object to the group. In particular, you cannot create a stage object separately and add it to the group - this is done to ensure that the created stage object is consistant with the actual group object and that you don't have to change code in multiple places if you switch to using a different cluster type for the group. (If you want to mix stages for multiple cluster types within your program, you should either create two groups that execute independently, or else create a stage that itself creates a group and manages the stages for the second type of cluster.)

The name parameter is required and must be unique - two stages within the same group may not have the same name.

The method returns the stage object that was created, although most code will not need it directly. (Whenever you need to refer to a stage to add dependencies, you can use its name instead of a reference to the object.)
