[MOAB-dev] Parallel iZoltan file for MOAB?

[Tim Tautges]

As we've discussed before, there's currently no spec-approved file format for parallel loading.  The current parallel 
itaps tests are hardwired to load implementation-specific files.  Until we have a spec-approved format, the same will 
have to be done for the iZoltan test.

Also, at one point I requested an option in iZoltan to write the partitioning results to sets instead of entity-based 
tags.  That can be a big memory savings for MOAB, and is in some ways a more appropriate use of the data model (that's 
my opinion, anyway).  Until we have that, we'll have to continue to maintain and use exclusively MOAB's mbpart tool.
