-------------------------------------

             Summary: Process entity definition allows multiple clusters when it has output Feed defined. 
                 Key: FALCON-1728
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1728
             Project: Falcon
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: process
    Affects Versions: 0.9
            Reporter: Balu Vellanki
            Assignee: Balu Vellanki
            Priority: Critical


Process XSD allows user to specify multiple clusters per process entity. I am guessing this would allow a user to run duplicate instance of the process on multiple clusters at the same time (I do not really see a need for this). When the process has an output feed defined, you can have duplicate process instances writing to same feed instance, causing data corruption/failures. The solution is to 
1. Do not allow multiple clusters per process. Let the user define a duplicate process if user wants to run duplicate instances.  
OR
2. Allow multiple clusters, but only when there is no output feed defined.

[~sriksun] please let me know if there is any other reason for allowing multiple clusters in a process.
