  Can you explain what you mean by throttle more?

  do you mean a time-based throttle, as in only run X nodes per-minute or something?

  or do you simply want a way of limiting how many executions run at once? if you set the threadcount to 5, then only a max of 5 nodes will be executed on simultaneously

  Throttle is probably the wrong word, limit maybe is a better one.

  I have 10 nodes tagged with myapp. I have a job that does a bunch of tasks on nodes tagged with myapp.

  I want to run the job in parallel (more threads) for speed, but not all at once, here I can do what you suggest and say run 5 threads. But that's only if i've chosen step-oriented rather than node-oriented (I think that's right?).

  I want node-oriented, as if the job fails on one node, I don't want the job to continue to execute and take down all myapp nodes.

  So I was thinking of a limit, maybe based on percentage, or a number. So the first time I execute the job I can specify it to run 50% or 5 of the 10 nodes tagged. If the job returned successful, I could schedule again with 100% etc.
