I'd like to initiate a discussion on the following issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4581
I've included a lot of detail in the JIRA, and would rather not reiterate _all_ of it here on the list, but in short: We are experiencing an issue when launching docker containers from marathon on mesos, where the container actually starts on the slave node to which it's assigned, but mesos/marathon get stuck in staging/staged respectively until the task launch times out and system tries again to launch it elsewhere. This issue is random in nature, successfully starting tasks about 40-50% of the time, while the rest of the time getting stuck. We've been able to narrow this down to a possible race condition likely in docker itself, but being triggered by the mesos-docker-executor. I have written and tested a patch in our environment which seems to have eliminated the issue, however I feel that the patch could be made more robust, and is currently just a work-around. Thanks for your time and consideration of the issue. Travis
