Motivation

I am using hydra for ML and I need to run my training on the HPC. Our HPC does not allow long running jobs on the login node, so to utilise the hydra submitit launcher it needs to be non-blocking.

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on pull requests?

Yes

Test Plan

I have run the unit tests for plugin and also added an additional one specifically for the changes made.

I have not extensively tested this change with the sweeper, as I am not expecting to use the sweeper with it, however, I have added sentinel values for the job returns to prevent the sweeper from raising an error. It should be noted in the documentation that this feature is not designed to function with the sweeper. I do not think it needs to be, since sweeping generally does not take long running jobs, and should be performed on smaller datasets and training sessions which last less than a few hours.
