<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are using the <a href="https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Gearman+Plugin"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Gearman-plugin</u></font></a> (version: 0.2.0) at our Nokia’s Continuous Integration environment together with <a href="https://jenkins.io/index.html"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Jenkins</u></font></a>
(version: 2.7.1). Except the Gerrit server, the entire CI environment is dockerized: Zuul servers, Jenkins Master instances and build executers being able to scale according the demand. The Gearman is being used to handle multiple Jenkins Master and build executers
across the project.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We would like to start docker machines as build executors on demand and according the real CI load. However there seems to be a limitation at the Gearman-plugin (0.2.0), that all available build executors have to be know and running during plugin start-up
time. Docker machines started and integrated to Jenkins after plugin start, won’t be recognized by the plugin.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We found that is a known issue and documented at: <a href="https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Gearman+Plugin"><font color="#0563C1"><u>https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Gearman+Plugin</u></font></a></div>

<div style="margin-bottom:3pt;"><font face="Helvetica" size="4" color="#D24939"><span style="font-size:16pt;"><b>Known Issues</b></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Helvetica" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Adding or removing executors on nodes will require restarting the gearman plugin. This is because Jenkins does NOT provide provide a way to listen for changes to executors therefore the gearman
plugin does not know that it needs to re-register functions due to executor updates.</span></font></div>
<div>=== CLIP ===</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Gearman-plugin seems to be still maintained.</div>
<div>Do you know whether that issue has been taken up for next upcoming plugin release?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your support.</div>
