Houdini Main Changelogs

18.6.22

Tractor scheduler now supports an experimental method for determining task states. When PDG_TRACTOR_USEKEEPALIVE=1, the jobs will send keepalive messages back to PDG at a certain rate. When enough keepalive messages are missed, the task will be killed if necessary. In addition, RPC messages will be sent to PDG when the task ends with success or failure.

This mode eliminates the need to regularly poll Tractor API for state changes, which reduces the load on the server.
