[petsc-dev] Using PETSc MatIS, how to get local matrix (= one domain) before and after assembly ?

[Franck Houssen]

I have a 3x3 global matrix made of two overlapping 2x2 local matrix (= diagonal with 1.). Each local matrix correspond to one domain (each domain is delegated to one MPI proc, so, I have 2 MPI procs because I have 2 domains). 
This is the simplest possible example: I have two 2x2 (local) diag matrix that overlap so that the global matrix built from them is 1, 2, 1 on the diagonal (local contributions add up in the middle). 

Now, I need for each MPI proc to get the assembled local matrix (sometimes called the dirichlet matrix) : this is a local matrix (sequential - not distributed with MPI) that accounts for contribution of neighboring domains (MPI proc). 

How to get the local assembled matrix ? MatGetLocalSubMatrix does not work (throw error - see example attached). MatGetSubMatrix returns a MPI distributed matrix, not a local (sequential) one. 

    1. My understanding is that MatISGetMPIXAIJ should return a local matrix (sequential AIJ matrix) : the MPI in the name recall that you get the assembled matrix (with contributions from the shared border) from the other MPI processus. Correct ? In my simple example, I replaced MatGetLocalSubMatrix with MatISGetMPIXAIJ : I get a deadlock which was surprising to me... Is MatISGetMPIXAIJ a collective call ? 
    2. Supposing this is a collective call (and that point 1 is not correct), I ride up MatISGetMPIXAIJ before the "if (rank > 0)" : I don't deadlock now, but it seems I get a global matrix which is not the assembled local matrix I am looking for. 
    3. I am supposed to destroy the matrix returned by MatISGetMPIXAIJ ? (I believe yes - not sure as AFAIU wording should associate Destroy methods to Create methods)
