#' @title Registry Constructor
#'
#' @description
#' \code{makeRegistry} constructs the inter-communication object for all functions in \code{batchtools}.
#' All communication transactions are processed via the file system:
#' All information required to run a job is stored as \code{\link{JobCollection}} in a file in the
#' a subdirectory of the \code{file.dir} directory.
#' Each jobs stores its results as well as computational status information (start time, end time, error message, ...)
#' also on the file system which is regular merged parsed by the master using \code{\link{syncRegistry}}.
#' After integrating the new information into the Registry, the Registry is serialized to the file system via \code{\link{saveRegistry}}.
#' Both \code{\link{syncRegistry}} and \code{\link{saveRegistry}} are called whenever required internally.
#' Therefore it should be safe to quit the R session at any time.
#' Work can later be resumed by calling \code{\link{loadRegistry}} which de-serializes the registry from
#' the file system.
#'
#' The registry created last is saved in the package namespace (unless \code{make.default} is set to
#' \code{FALSE}) and can be retrieved via \code{\link{getDefaultRegistry}}.
#'
#' Canceled jobs and jobs submitted multiple times may leave stray files behind.
#' These can be swept using \code{\link{sweepRegistry}}.
#' \code{\link{clearRegistry}} completely erases all jobs from a registry, including log files and results,
#' and thus allows you to start over.
#'
#' @details
#' Currently \pkg{batchtools} understands the following options set via the configuration file:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{\code{cluster.functions}:}{As returned by a constructor, e.g. \code{\link{makeClusterFunctionsSlurm}}.}
#'   \item{\code{default.resources}:}{List of resources to use. Will be overruled by resources specified via \code{\link{submitJobs}}.}
#'   \item{\code{temp.dir}:}{Path to directory to use for temporary registries.}
#'   \item{\code{sleep}:}{Custom sleep function. See \code{\link{waitForJobs}}.}
#'   \item{\code{expire.after}:}{Number of iterations before treating jobs as expired in \code{\link{waitForJobs}}.}
#'   \item{\code{compress}:}{Compression algorithm to use via \code{\link{saveRDS}}.}
#' }
#'
#' @param file.dir [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   Path where all files of the registry are saved.
#'   Default is directory \dQuote{registry} in the current working directory.
#'   The provided path will get normalized unless it is given relative to the home directory
#'   (i.e., starting with \dQuote{~}). Note that some templates do not handle relative paths well.
#'
#'   If you pass \code{NA}, a temporary directory will be used.
#'   This way, you can create disposable registries for \code{\link{btlapply}} or examples.
#'   By default, the temporary directory \code{\link[base]{tempdir}()} will be used.
#'   If you want to use another directory, e.g. a directory which is shared between nodes,
#'   you can set it in your configuration file by setting the variable \code{temp.dir}.
#' @param work.dir [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   Working directory for R process for running jobs.
#'   Defaults to the working directory currently set during Registry construction (see \code{\link[base]{getwd}}).
#'   \code{loadRegistry} uses the stored \code{work.dir}, but you may also explicitly overwrite it,
#'   e.g., after switching to another system.
#'
#'   The provided path will get normalized unless it is given relative to the home directory
#'   (i.e., starting with \dQuote{~}). Note that some templates do not handle relative paths well.
#' @param conf.file [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   Path to a configuration file which is sourced while the registry is created.
#'   In the configuration file you can define how \pkg{batchtools} interacts with the system via \code{\link{ClusterFunctions}}.
#'   Separating the configuration of the underlying host system from the R code allows to easily move computation to another site.
#'
#'   The file lookup is implemented in the internal (but exported) function \code{findConfFile} which returns the first file found of the following candidates:
#'   \enumerate{
#'    \item{File \dQuote{batchtools.conf.R} in the path specified by the environment variable \dQuote{R_BATCHTOOLS_SEARCH_PATH}.}
#'    \item{File \dQuote{batchtools.conf.R} in the current working directory.}
#'    \item{File \dQuote{config.R} in the user configuration directory as reported by \code{rappdirs::user_config_dir("batchtools", expand = FALSE)} (depending on OS, e.g., on linux this usually resolves to \dQuote{~/.config/batchtools/config.R}).}
#'    \item{\dQuote{.batchtools.conf.R} in the home directory (\dQuote{~}).}
#'    \item{\dQuote{config.R} in the site config directory as reported by \code{rappdirs::site_config_dir("batchtools")} (depending on OS). This file can be used for admins to set sane defaults for a computation site.}
#'   }
#'   Set to \code{NA} if you want to suppress reading any configuration file.
#'   If a configuration file is found, it gets sourced inside the environment of the registry after the defaults for all variables are set.
#'   Therefore you can set and overwrite slots, e.g. \code{default.resources = list(walltime = 3600)} to set default resources or \dQuote{max.concurrent.jobs} to
#'   limit the number of jobs allowed to run simultaneously on the system.
#' @param packages [\code{character}]\cr
#'   Packages that will always be loaded on each node.
#'   Uses \code{\link[base]{require}} internally.
#'   Default is \code{character(0)}.
#' @param namespaces [\code{character}]\cr
#'   Same as \code{packages}, but the packages will not be attached.
#'   Uses \code{\link[base]{requireNamespace}} internally.
#'   Default is \code{character(0)}.
#' @param source [\code{character}]\cr
#'   Files which should be sourced on the slaves prior to executing a job.
#'   Calls \code{\link[base]{sys.source}} using the \code{\link[base]{.GlobalEnv}}.
#' @param load [\code{character}]\cr
#'   Files which should be loaded on the slaves prior to executing a job.
#'   Calls \code{\link[base]{load}} using the \code{\link[base]{.GlobalEnv}}.
#' @param seed [\code{integer(1)}]\cr
#'   Start seed for jobs. Each job uses the (\code{seed} + \code{job.id}) as seed.
#'   Default is a random integer between 1 and 32768
#' @param make.default [\code{logical(1)}]\cr
#'   If set to \code{TRUE}, the created registry is saved inside the package
#'   namespace and acts as default registry. You might want to switch this
#'   off if you work with multiple registries simultaneously.
#'   Default is \code{TRUE}.
#' @return [\code{environment}] of class \dQuote{Registry} with the following slots:
#'   \describe{
#'     \item{\code{file.dir} [path]:}{File directory.}
#'     \item{\code{work.dir} [path]:}{Working directory.}
#'     \item{\code{temp.dir} [path]:}{Temporary directory. Used if \code{file.dir} is \code{NA} to create temporary registries.}
#'     \item{\code{packages} [character()]:}{Packages to load on the slaves.}
#'     \item{\code{namespaces} [character()]:}{Namespaces to load on the slaves.}
#'     \item{\code{seed} [integer(1)]:}{Registry seed. Before each job is executed, the seed \code{seed + job.id} is set.}
#'     \item{\code{cluster.functions} [cluster.functions]:}{Usually set in your \code{conf.file}. Set via a call to \code{\link{makeClusterFunctions}}. See example.}
#'     \item{\code{default.resources} [named list()]:}{Usually set in your \code{conf.file}. Named list of default resources.}
#'     \item{\code{max.concurrent.jobs} [integer(1)]:}{Usually set in your \code{conf.file}. Maximum number of concurrent jobs for a single user and current registry on the system.
#'       \code{\link{submitJobs}} will try to respect this setting. The resource \dQuote{max.concurrent.jobs} has higher precedence.}
#'     \item{\code{defs} [data.table]:}{Table with job definitions (i.e. parameters).}
#'     \item{\code{status} [data.table]:}{Table holding information about the computational status. Also see \code{\link{getJobStatus}}.}
#'     \item{\code{resources} [data.table]:}{Table holding information about the computational resources used for the job. Also see \code{\link{getJobResources}}.}
#'     \item{\code{tags} [data.table]:}{Table holding information about tags. See \link{Tags}.}
