Bug 673538

Description of problem:
Default values are:
NEGOTIATOR_UPDATE_INTERVAL = 300
NEGOTIATOR_INTERVAL = 20
NEGOTIATION_CYCLE_STATS_LENGTH = 3

It means that negotiation cycle is run every 20 seconds (NEGOTIATOR_INTERVAL), and negotiator remembers statistics from three of those cycles (NEGOTIATION_CYCLE_STATS_LENGTH). In another word the negotiator remembers statistics one minute ago. On the other hand it sends those statistics to collector every 5 minutes (NEGOTIATOR_UPDATE_INTERVAL).

This settings leads to situation when some statistics are not propagated to collector and thus not shown to user.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
condor-7.4.5-0.7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set condor configuration:
NUM_CPUS = 2
GROUP_NAMES = a
GROUP_QUOTA_a = 1

2. wait till negotiator update classad on collector and then run a job
# echo -e
"universe=vanilla\ncmd=/bin/sleep\nargs=30\n+AccountingGroup=\"a.u1\"\nqueue\n+AccountingGroup=\"a.u2\"\nqueue" | runuser condor -s /bin/bash -c condor_submit

3. wait till the negotiator updates again and look at LastNegotiationCycleRejections statistic
# condor_status -subsystem negotiator -l | grep -i CycleRejections
LastNegotiationCycleRejections0 = 0
LastNegotiationCycleRejections1 = 0
LastNegotiationCycleRejections2 = 0

  
Actual results:
no rejection is seen on collector

Expected results:
change the default so the user could see all available statistics from negotiator OR add some warning to documentation that this could happen

Additional info:
if the scenario is run with NEGOTIATOR_UPDATE_INTERVAL set to 5 it is possible to see LastNegotiationCycleRejectionsX = 1
