[workflow-plugin] asynchronous model to trigger multiple downstream jobs

[Hemang Lavana]

Hi,

I have 3 jobs: A, B and C in stage 1 to be run in parallel and two jobs: X and Y in stage 2. I would like to kickoff job X as soon as jobs A and B complete and kickoff job Y as soon as jobs B and C complete. I found a similar question on stackoverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15243705/jenkins-build-workflow-provide-result-of-one-parallel-executed-job-to-multiple

which mentions a possible enhancement to build-flow plugin but it doesn't seem to be implemented yet:

parallel( [
        a:  { build("TGZ", subjob: "T1") },
        b: { build("TGZ", subjob: "T2") },
        c:  { build("TGZ", subjob: "T3") }
     ])
   .on( jobs[a].completed && jobs[b].completed ) { build(x) } 
   .on( jobs[b].completed && jobs[c].completed ) { build(y) }

Is something like above possible with workflow-plugin. If not, are there plans to support such a feature? 

A support for an async job model would make it very flexible to define workflows with complex dependencies:

async a: {

    // code for job A

}, b: {

   // code for job B

}, c: {

   // code for job C

}

async x: {

    waitUntil { // job A and job B completes }

    // code for job X

}, y: {

    waitUntil { // job B and job C completes with success or failure result}

    // code for job Y

}

Thanks,

Hemang.
