Otherwise, I would think that gathering information to make a decision

really no way to know how many nodes are up or what features are on the

in there.
My 2 cents:
The slurmctld calls the Lua function slurm_job_submit(job_desc, part_list,
submit_uid) which you provide in /etc/slurm/job_submit.lua. This means
that the Lua script only has access to the job's data "job_desc", the
partition list, and the userid. That's it.
It seems that slurm_job_submit was not designed to provide the kind of
information that you are asking for.
