Distributed Execution Targeting

[kennywk]

Just wondering, is the intent behind the distributed execution for distributing tasks to be executed across a pool of nodes? is it possible to target tasks to identified nodes such as;

Task 1 -> Node 1
Task 2 -> Node 2
Task 3 -> Node 3
Results -> Master/Parent?

i could see where something like this would enable some interesting capabilities for distributed microservice architectures where each node performs a specific tasks.

Thanks!

That was not intended

What are all use cases? this would help me design

Hey!

The basic use case would be to allow for a distributed node to to handle a single micro task but live within a "graph" of tasks where some tasks could be dependent on the execution of some previous tasks. The way it seems to be written currently a distributed node executes the whole "graph" whereas i would like for a single task to be executed by a single node if possible.
