Problem: pmix defines some special numerical ranks which look puzzling in the trace output
0.104s: flux-shell[1]: TRACE: pmix: pmix server fence_upcall
{"procs":[{"nspace":"ƒGnMtS4hm","rank":-2}],"info":
From the spec[1]:
The pmix_rank_t structure is a uint32_t type for rank values.
typedef uint32_t pmix_rank_t;
The following constants can be used to set a variable of the type pmix_rank_t. All definitions
were introduced in version 1 of the standard unless otherwise marked. Valid rank values start at
zero.
PMIX_RANK_UNDEF A value to request job-level data where the information itself is not
associated with any specific rank, or when passing a pmix_proc_t identifier to an
operation that only references the namespace field of that structure.
PMIX_RANK_WILDCARD A value to indicate that the user wants the data for the given key
from every rank that posted that key.
PMIX_RANK_LOCAL_NODE Special rank value used to define groups of ranks. This constant
defines the group of all ranks on a local node.
#definePMIX_RANK_UNDEF UINT32_MAX
#definePMIX_RANK_WILDCARD UINT32_MAX-1
#definePMIX_RANK_LOCAL_NODE UINT32_MAX-2 // all ranks on local node
Kind of meaningless to say that valid ranks start at zero when the type is an unsigned integer. But anyway.
The trace is a raw json dump of the interthread message used in the server upcall, so maybe one thing to do would be to encode ranks as I rather than i so the special ones look like a big number as opposed to a negative one.
We could also encode them as a string and use the above names as the encoding for the special values, but that might be going too far for a debug trace.
