As noted in #5240, partitions may be a useful abstraction, distinct from queues.

My thought is that a Flux partition would be defined so that it implies a scheduler instance operating on a non-overlapping resource subset.

We don't currently allow there to be more than one scheduler so that would require changes to

@grondo brought up in #5240 (quoting loosely):

  • how partitions and queues would work together (many of our current use cases for queues would probably be served better by partitions)
  • how would partitions would be reflected in tools output, etc.
  • it might be nice to think about how we could do better with partitions and make them dynamic (e.g. move resources around at runtime instead of requiring sysadmins to write a config file, commit it to version control, distribute it to all nodes, reconfigure and reload modules)
