             Summary: Slave should make sure that the containerizer::launch 
returned Future is ready
                 Key: MESOS-1251
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1251
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Till Toenshoff
            Priority: Minor


Currently the slave is not awaiting the {{Future<Nothing>}} returned by 
{{Containerizer::Launch}} before sending out more command events.

Is there a reason for this behavior?

This issue becomes apparent only when having a launch-command-implementations 
that is relatively "expensive".

So what I can see here is the following chain of events along a vertical time 
axis:

{noformat}
Launch
   |
   |  Wait
   |    |
   |    | Update 
   |    |    |
   ----------Launch Future<Nothing> became ready
{noformat}


What I would like to see is:

{noformat}
Launch
   |
   |
   |
   |
   |
   ----------Launch Future<Nothing> became ready
      Wait
        |
        | Update 
        |    |
{noformat}


As we are currently pushing the former behavior into the implementation of the 
containerizer, things quickly get rather complicated on that side. Hence I 
would like to understand if that is something we really want / need or if we 
might want to fix this within the slave in a longer run.

So far, I have only observed this to be a challenge for {{Launch}}, but other 
events might just as well be worth a thought on enforced chaining instead of 
concurrent invocations.
