I might be missing something but I don't see how a Slurm federated
cluster does what I need. From
https://slurm.schedmd.com/federation.html:

,----
| Jobs submitted to a federation receive a unique job ID that is unique
| among all clusters in the federation. A job is submitted to the local
| cluster (the cluster defined in the slurm.conf) and is then replicated
| across the clusters in the federation. Each cluster then independently
| attempts to the schedule the job based off of its own scheduling
| policies. The clusters coordinate with the "origin" cluster (cluster the
| job was submitted to) to schedule the job.
`----

+ I don't want unique job IDs among all clusters
+ When I submit a job to a local cluster, I don't want each cluster to
  try and schedule the jobs, I just want the local cluster to schedule it.
+ I want to keep the clusters wholly independent, EXCEPT for keeping all
  the data regarding job statistics in a single database. 

Cheers,
