In LHCb we had issues with a user submitting jobs with
Job.setNumberOfProcessors(minProc=10, maxProc=1)
. This resulted in the job only requesting one CPU and caused complaints from sites.I think we should just make this API safer to use by rejecting values which aren't valid with an exception.
Any thoughts?
