"""vLLM distributed state.
It takes over the control of the distributed environment from PyTorch.
The typical workflow is:

- call `init_distributed_environment` to initialize the distributed environment.
- call `initialize_model_parallel` or `ensure_model_parallel_initialized` to
 initialize the model parallel groups.

- any code dealing with the distributed stuff

- call `destroy_model_parallel` to destroy the model parallel groups.
- call `destroy_distributed_environment` to destroy the distributed environment.

If you only need to use the distributed environment without model/pipeline
 parallelism, you can skip the model parallel initialization and destruction
 steps.
