SideSetsAroundSubdomain should work with ParallelMesh

[jwpeterson]

Forces this test to use SerialMesh. Maybe we should also put

mesh_mode = 'SERIAL'

in the tests file so these types of tests are actually skipped in parmesh builds?

Refs #2129.

Why doesn't this work on ParallelMesh ?

[friedmud]

Instead of skipping this test - I would rather get to the bottom of it not working

[jwpeterson]

I don't think any of the MeshModifiers that use the "flooding" strategy work with ParallelMesh, probably because it tries to access remote elems...

[friedmud]

Is it just using the wrong iterator?

[permcody]

Yes that's true, all of the MeshModifiers make assumptions about the mesh.
it would take some effort to fix this. Maybe we should actually throw an
error inside of the mesh modifier too? serial_only() or whatever that
macro is that does that

No, more complicated than that. If you used the local iterators, you
wouldn't get the right flooding pattern as you cross a processor boundary
unless you exchange information.

I gotcha - in that case: yes, we need to thrown an error if these try to get used with ParallelMesh.

@jwpeterson you implemented something like that already, right?

Also - make sure to put a ticket in to go see if this can be fixed (I understand it might take substantial work... but I would really like everything to work with ParallelMesh as much as possible).

I checked and SideSetsAroundSubdomain doesn't actually flood() so it should work with ParallelMesh. Just added a patch to enable it, will squash and merge if it passes moosebuild.

Thanks John - that makes more sense to me (I didn't see why that one shouldn't work).
