Is it possible to run EnTK locally on summit? In an interactive allocation?

nnodes supports by design another incredible feature for debugging. Since nnodes is run as part of the batch submission, we can run nnodes on Summit with an interactive allocation in the debug queue.

We've found that "the hurdle" of having to run the workflow manager then communicating with mongoDB, then submitting has its advantages, but carries a big drawback when debugging the workflow.

So, what I'm wondering is, is there a way to circumvent the queue? I remember vaguely that we had a discussion about something like this, but I don't remember how the discussion ended.

I changed the title, because mongodb is not the prohibitor in this case it's just queue time to fix small problems.

I'm afraid we are not able to realistically support this in the very near future. I opened an issue for this.

And, you are right, MongoDB is not the main issue in this context.
