Description

The <pool> element allows setting the maxRunningJobs for that pool. It wold be nice to be able to set a default value for all pools.

In out configuration, pools are autocreated.. every new uesre gets his own pool. We would like to allow each user to be able to run a max of 5 jobs at a time. For the etl pool, this limit will be set to a greater value,
