This plugin allows you to define "weight" on each job, and making each job consume that many executors (instead of just one.) Useful for a job that's parallelized by itself, so that Hudson can schedule jobs accordingly. # Usage This plugin adds the following configuration UI fragment into your job configuration page. Specify the total number of executors that this job should occupy: ![](docs/images/heavy-job-config.png) When you run this job, it'll occupy the specified number of executors, as can be seen below: ![](docs/images/heavy-job-executors.png) The occupied executors cannot build anything else while this build is in progress, thereby preserving the necessary computational resources for the job. It also means that the job with weight=2 cannot be run on a node with just one executor, or if a node has two executors but one of them is building something. # Changelog ### Version 1.1 (Oct 16, 2013) - Updated to 1.424 baseline. - Fixed plugin metadata. ### Version 1.0 (Sep 26, 2010) - Initial release
