[DRMAA-WG] misssing exceptions and thread safety

[Mariusz Mamoński]

Hi all,

1. Can we merge JobAlreadySuspendedException,
JobNotSuspendedException, JobTerminatedException into one something
like CantApplyToCurrentStateExecption (OGSA-BES approach) and state
that the error message should bears current job state ?
2. Guaranteeing atomicity (concerning operation that comes from
outside) in DRMAA is almost impossible for the DRMS i know, as usually
there is no "lock on job" operation available in public API.

Cheers,
