parallelStart(mode = ) has no option for batchtools

[smilesun]

If I want to reduce a large registry , I want to use parallelMap, but parallelStart only has mode = "batchjobs" which will corrupt a lot of functions in batchtools.

parallelStart(mode = "BatchJobs", resources = list(walltime = 3600)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  parallelExport("getFront", "reg") # make sure the slave process could use the variables being exported
  parallelLibrary("mlr", "batchtools", "ParamHelpers", "emoa", "smoof", "OpenML")
  parallelSource("experiments/experiments_global_defs.R")

So this will mask all functions in batchtools to batchjob functions

parallelStartBatchtools should work from the master branch now, for you, as initial function call.

for parallelStart I need to check whether this is simply a documentation issue, in any case the fix should be trivial.

please tell me whether bt with pm works for you if you use parallelStartBatchtools now

[smilesun]

Yes, it works quite well if one use
parallelStartBatchtools(resources = list(walltime = 3600))

[berndbischl]

but the bug for parallelStart still exists, so lets keep this open

[jakob-r]

I think everything is fine and the following works:

library(parallelMap)
parallelStart(mode = "batchtools", bt.resources = list(walltime = 3600))

Please update me if there is still a bug.

PS: @smilesun You have to call parallelStart(mode = "BatchJobs", bj.resources = list(...)) or parallelStart(mode = "batchtools", bt.resources = list(walltime = 3600)).

ping @berndbischl @smilesun

[berndbischl]

should be ok now

Would you update the man page (and any more prominent documents) to reflect the capacity to use mode = "batchtools"?

[nick-youngblut]

Is batchtools even supported in the latest CRAN release? I don't see it anywhere in the CRAN docs.

[jakob-r]

It's only supported on the gh release yet

[nick-youngblut]

Thanks @jakob-r for letting me know. Sorry for posting on a closed issue. Once parallelmap is updated on CRAN, I'll update the conda-forge parallelmap feedstock.

[berndbischl]

@nick-youngblut i have to sorry for not being faster on this.
@jakob-r will you take this over?
