             Summary: More intuitive Application Job States
                 Key: AIRAVATA-945
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-945
             Project: Airavata
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Registry API
            Reporter: Shahbaz Memon
            Priority: Trivial


The current server version can be improved to have more intuitive names of application states. I would propose to have a label prefix for each state, which clearly identifies whether  it is a client (airavata provider) or a server side (any middleware) status. For instance, if there is a working or temp directory being created and any required files are staged in, the application job status could be set to CLIENT_DIR_SETUP, CLIENT_DIR_CREATED and transition to CLIENT_DATA_STAGEIN. Similar to that, the status could be set for download actions. 

Another point, in the application status enumeration I am not able to find Queued state, which is very essential when airavata is used as a proxy for submitting jobs to grid or hpc services. After applying my thoughts mentioned above, this could be SERVER_QUEUED state. 

Thanks.
