Description of different states

[lastweek]

Hi,
Is it possible to give a short description about the following instance status?

• Ready
• Waiting
• Running
• Terminated
• Failed
• Cancelled
• Interrupted

OK， we will include the description in the next minor release of the cluster data, hopefully recently

Sorry about the delay in response. Here is some explanation of the state machine:

• Task

  • Terminated: A task goes to ‘Terminated’ when all its instances are done
  • Waiting: A task in not initialized yet
  • Failed: Task fails
  • Running: The Task is being processed

• Instance

  • Terminated: An instance is done
  • Waiting: The instance can not run because some of its dependencies have not finished
  • Running: An Instance is ‘Running’ on a worker
  • Failed: An instance fails
  • Interrupted: It is feature we introduced for backup instance, the instance stops due to some reason

Hope this would help.
