RE: "Introducing JobSet"

New Kubernetes workload type to fit the needs of running distributed systems for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence applications.

To block or not to block, that is the question.

Let’s suppose we have a stream of events and a pull consumer. The consumer has two methods to fetch: the first is gonna block until it receives something, and the second has a timeout to unblock. My personal rule of thumb is:

- if you need to synchronously consume a single event then process it: use the blocking one, as you’re using the stream like a FIFO queue.
- if you need to fetch ‘n’ events: use the non-blocking one, you might have no warranty that the stream contains (or is able to send) the expected amount of events.
