Folks,
I have a use case where I have a pool of global ‘resources’ which cannot be used concurrently.
The only implementation of allocating from pools in Jenkins I’ve seen so far is the Port Allocator plugin which can be used to hand out from a pool of integers.
Originally this plugin was conceived to hand out ports on the local node. Developers have tried to extend the Port Allocator plugin with the concept of global pools. But these pull requests keep getting bounced, i.e.
7 and
5 which both implement this.
Can we get clearance to have global pools in the Port Allocator plugin?
If not: this use case is evidently coming up for a number of people given we already have two pull requests for it. So, what would be acceptable?
Warm regards,
Ryan
