Dear Devs,

We are seriously investigating using Mesos as the backbone of our compute
infrastructure. One important question I would like to ask is about fair
sharing.

As I understand it, assuming you have 3 frameworks and 100 users using
those frameworks, the current algorithm gives each framework 33% (assuming
same weight), no matter how many users each framework have. In our case,
actually we would like to give each user 1% of the cluster, no matter which
framework they use. The reasons are:

(1) It's much easier for us to decide weight between users than weight
between framework.
(2) It makes it much easy to add and remove frameworks since it won't
change distribution of fair share

In general, I feel frameworks compute on behave of users and thus users
should "pay" for the computation.

I am wondering if this makes sense and if this is something could be
supported by Mesos.

Thanks,
Li
