BTW, there is another incompatible change in a later patch. The URIs field 
below is only here temporarily to achieve consistency in this intermediate step.

This has the same behavior as earlier Mesos:
- Empty user is allowed. No chown occurs then. 
- In this context, for cache segregation purposes, "empty user" is one distinct 
user, with separate caching from "all other" users.
- Invalid users have always made chown attempts fail and continue to do so. 
This happens after downloading. No change in that regard.
- This now means there could be items from invalid users in the cache and never 
get used. Cache eviction will eventually take care of this.
- We could file a ticket to check for valid user early. That would be new 
functionality, also for previous Mesos versions.

If it's not per slave ID, then different slaves on the same host would share 
the same cache on disk. This would require cooperation and trust between them, 
neither of which is necessary with the current approach.

A shared cache could pay off if you ran multiple slaves on the same host in 
production. That does not seem probable.

We might later make the Fetcher and FetcherProcess classes into an extra daemon 
that serves multiple slaves, handles slave recovery more skillfully, etc. 

(I still prefer this to the third alternative, which is having the ephemeral 
mesos-fetcher program do all the cache synchronization and eviction work. See 
some discussion about this in MESOS-336.)

These protobufs are indeed regarded as internal-only and they will only settle 
down after the whole series of patches for the fetcher cache. But we shall keep 
them backwards-compatible from then on.
