DEBUGGING IN A CLUSTER PROCESSING NETWORK
First Claim
1. A system for debugging in a cluster processing network, comprising:
- a scheduler to dispatch a process that is part of the cluster job for execution;
a compute node to execute the process dispatched by the scheduler to the compute node;
a debugger activated in response to an unhandled suspension event for the process on the compute node, wherein the debugger sends a notification message regarding the unhandled suspension event; and
a job monitor to receive the notification message from the debugger that an unhandled suspension event has occurred.

Abstract
A technology is described for debugging in a cluster processing network. A scheduler can dispatch a process that is part of the cluster job for execution. Further, a compute node can be used to execute the process dispatched by the scheduler to the compute node. A debugger can be activated in response to an unhandled suspension event in the process on the compute node. In addition, the debugger can send notification messages regarding the unhandled suspension event. A job monitor can receive a notification from the debugger that an unhandled suspension event has occurred. The notification can be displayed to a user via the job monitor.

11. A method for debugging of a process in a cluster job in a cluster processing network, comprising:
-
dispatching a process to execute on a compute node using a scheduler; executing the process that is part of the cluster job on the compute node; activating a debugger on the compute node in response to an unhandled suspension event for the process; and sending a notification from the debugger to a job monitor that an unhandled suspension event has occurred. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for just-in-time debugging in a cluster processing network, comprising:
-
starting a process on a compute node with just-in-time debugging configuration flags; informing an operating system on the compute node that an unhandled exception occurred for a process executing on the compute node; starting a just-in-time debugger based on a configuration setting read by the operating system, wherein the just-in-time debugger attaches to the process; reading the just-in-time debugging configuration flags to determine an action for the just-in-time debugger to take; and sending a message to a job manager that a process which is part of a cluster job is waiting for debugging to begin. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
