--------------------------
= Discussion =

* Modeller jobs get killed
  - There is a worker pool of 10 or 20 workers.
  - If job goes over 3 hours it gets killed by a monitoring process.
  - There is no useful error logged.  User just sees "job failed", and they are likely to try again.
  - Eric suggests maybe a 6 hour limit is better.
  - Do not yet have sessions save in-process modeller jobs.
  - Saving a session should warn that modeller jobs was not saved.
