Docker Swarm Meadow for eHive

eHive is a system for running computation pipelines on distributed computing resources - clusters, farms or grids. This repository is the implementation of eHive's Meadow interface for the Docker Swarm container orchestrator.

Version numbering and compatibility

This repository is versioned the same way as eHive itself, and both checkouts are expected to be on the same branch name to function properly.

• version/2.5, version/2.6, etc. are stable branchs that work with eHive's branches of the same name. These branches are stable and only receive bugfixes.
• master is the development branch and follows eHive's master. We primarily maintain eHive, so both repos may sometimes go out of sync until we upgrade the DockerSwarm module too
