[Slurm] Rest API

[podkidyshev]

Summary

• Add opt-in Slurm REST API support to SlurmSystem using the Slurm v0.0.38 API supported by Slurm 22.05.8.
• Route node discovery, GPU detection, sbatch submission, job status, completion, allocated-node lookup, and cancellation through slurmrestd when [slurm_api] is configured. Existing Slurm CLI behavior remains the default.
• Translate CloudAI-generated #SBATCH directives into the REST submission payload while preserving the original script body, authentication headers, retries, and certificate configuration.

Test Plan

• Verified end to end on a virtual Slurm cluster using slurmrestd v0.0.38: submitted and completed workloads, observed cancellation, exercised required/excluded node placement, and verified compute-node execution through generated artifacts and job metadata.

Additional Notes

• REST mode requires a reachable slurmrestd service exposing the slurm v0.0.38 endpoints.
• Workloads must produce an sbatch script. Workloads that invoke a separate Slurm launcher which submits its own jobs remain unsupported in REST mode.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds optional Slurm REST API support. It introduces configuration and documentation, adds SlurmRestClient, routes Slurm operations through REST mode, preserves CLI fallback behavior, centralizes node-list parsing, and adds integration tests.

Changes

Slurm REST API support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
REST configuration and contracts pyproject.toml, conf/common/system/example_slurm_cluster.toml, doc/USER_GUIDE.rst, src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_rest_client.py, src/cloudai/systems/slurm/__init__.py	Adds runtime dependencies, REST configuration documentation, API version constants, SlurmAPIConfig, and package exports.
Node list parsing src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_node.py, src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_system.py	Adds the shared parse_node_list helper and removes the local implementation from SlurmSystem.
REST client operations src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_rest_client.py	Adds authenticated requests, retries, SBATCH translation, job submission and monitoring, node and GPU detection, status conversion, cancellation, and endpoint validation.
Slurm system routing and validation src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_system.py, tests/systems/slurm/test_system.py	Routes REST-mode discovery, submission, status, completion, cancellation, and validation through SlurmRestClient. Tests cover these REST paths and configuration behavior.

- Around line 89-90: Update the CloudAI Slurm REST API documentation to state
that only the slurm endpoint must be enabled; remove the unsupported slurmdb
requirement from the configuration guidance.

In `@src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_node.py`:
- Line 44: Update the hostlist parsing logic around component.split("[") to
support multiple bracket groups in a single component, such as
rack[0-1]_blade[0-1], without unpacking errors. Recursively expand each bracket
range and combine the expansions as a Cartesian product while preserving
existing behavior for components with one or no bracket groups.

In `@src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_rest_client.py`:
- Line 242: Update _make_job so job["environment"] is serialized as an array
containing a single KEY=VALUE string, using the existing PATH value and
fallback, such as PATH=<value>, instead of a JSON object.

Inline comments:
In `@src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_rest_client.py`:
- Around line 48-50: Update SlurmAPIConfig validation and _request_once so any
non-empty headers, including X-SLURM-USER-TOKEN, require an https:// URL; reject
plaintext HTTP unless an explicitly established authenticated encrypted or
local-only transport is represented by the existing configuration. Preserve HTTP
support only for requests without credentials.
- Around line 86-87: Update the SBATCH directive mappings used by
_apply_sbatch_directive() so --nodelist maps to required_nodes and --exclude
maps to excluded_nodes, matching the v0.0.38 REST payload contract. Update the
submission test expectations to use these canonical keys.

In `@src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_system.py`:
- Around line 147-149: Update the Slurm job-ID validation and normalization used
by _job_id and the public operations is_job_running, is_job_completed,
get_job_status, complete_job, and kill to accept numeric string IDs by
converting them to integers before REST or transport selection. Reject bool
explicitly, while continuing to reject non-numeric strings and other invalid ID
types.
