Possibility to specify number of executors a node step will consume

XMLWordPrintable

      Possibility to specify number of executors a node step will consume. The syntax below is probably not correct but I hope it will get the general idea across.

      // List of tuples with (taskName, executorCount)
def heavyTasks = [('task1', 2), ('task2', 3), ('task3', 8)]
def tasks = [:]
for (x in heavyTasks) {
    def task = x
    tasks[task] = {
        node executors: task[1] {
            sh 'heavyThreadedTaskGoesHere'
            }
    }
}
stage("RunTasks") {
    parallel tasks
}

      EDIT: There is a plugin that tries to do this but there is no pipeline support. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Heavy+Job+Plugin

          [JENKINS-39975] Possibility to specify number of executors a node step will consume

          Jesse Glick added a comment - 
          node {
  node(NODE_NAME) {
    // …
  }
}

          would do the trick for n=2, though this is probably deadlock-prone—not sure how the plugin handles that.
