In the process removed modules and boot_strap.py. Also Renamed extensions Plugins.
Louie is now monkey patched rather than containing a modified version in external
Failed jobs will now be automatically retired. This is controlled by two
new settings:
retry_on_status - a list of statuses which will be consided failures and
result in a retry
max_retries - number of retries before giving up
- added initialze and finalize methods to workloads, which were the only
major extension types that did not have them
- Semanatics for initialize/finalize for *all* Extensions are changed so
that now they will always run at most once per run. They will not be
executed twice even if invoke via istances of different subclasses (if
those subclasses defined their own verions, then their versions will
be invoked once each, but the base version will only get invoked
once).
- Adding "classifiers" field to Metric objects. This is a dict mapping
classifier names (arbitrary strings) to corresponding values for that
specific metrics. This is to allow extensions to add
extension-specific annotations to metric that could be handled in a
generic way (e.g. by result processors).
- Updating telemetry workload to add classifiers for the url and internal
iteration (or "time") for a particular result.
- Updating csv result processor with the option to use classifiers to
add columns to results.csv (either using all classifiers found, or
only for the specific ones listed).
- connect() to device before issuing the initial reboot, as soft reset
requires a device connection.
- boot() has been implemented to wait properly for the device to reboot
after reset.
- port now defaults to 22 rather than being left unset, as need
something to connect to when polling for device after reboot.
- Only use -P option for scp when port is *not* 22; as that option
appears to cause intermittent issues with default scp on Ubuntu 12.04
