[auton-users] End of Condor

[Jacob Joseph]

Hi.  As a few users have discovered, we've been having a couple of
technical issues with Condor.  Most importantly, certain jobs are
evicted with no apparent reason when trying to write the Condor log
file.  Additionally, some scheduling anomalies have become apparent,
leading to queue times longer than should be expected.

Both of these issues seem to be related to bugs within Condor.  Given
that this is a closed-source product, I have contacted the developers a
number of times with limited success.  These issues could potentially be
solved with further effort or through migration to a different batching
system.

For now, though, it has been decided that no further time will be spent
correcting Condor or testing other systems.  As such, I am shutting
Condor down, effective this evening.  Jobs submitted before then will be
allowed to finish.
