issues when queue constraint does not match queue name

[garlick]

Problem: configuring a queue name that doesn't match the queue constraint is not well tested and may have some problems.

Ryan noted that the QUEUE column is missing in flux resource list, for example.

More checking needed. If this is a requirement, it does not seem to be documented. The admin guide for example just says it's a good practice:

https://flux-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/admin-guide.html#adding-queues

This seems to work fine:

#!/bin/bash -e
flux R encode -r 0-3 -p foo:0-1 -p bar:2-3 \
   | tr -d "\n" \
   | flux kvs put -r resource.R=- &&

printf "added foo,bar properties to resource.R\n"

flux config load <<EOF
[queues.batch]
requires = [ "bar" ]
[queues.debug]
requires = [ "foo" ]
EOF

printf "added queues batch,debug to config\n"

flux queue start --all
flux module remove -f sched-simple
flux module remove -f sched-fluxion-qmanager
flux module remove -f sched-fluxion-resource
flux module reload resource noverify
flux module load sched-simple

flux queue list

flux resource list

$ flux start -s 4 ./t.sh
added foo,bar properties to resource.R

      down                            0        0        0 

The recommendation is probably there to avoid the unnecessary PROPERTIES column (flux resource list automatically suppresses properties that match the queue name.)

Ok to close?

I submitted a clarification to the docs here. Maybe once that PR is merged this issue can be closed?

I am going to close this since the title may be misleading. A clarifying PR has been submitted to the admin guide.
