Bill Farner commented on AURORA-1109: ------------------------------------- {quote} I propose we start from the first case, but keep an eye to make sure reconfiguring policy could be supported. {quote} +1 {quote} Are you referring to Mesos role or Aurora's role concept here? {quote} Mesos roles. When you get into the code, this will probably make more sense. Specifically, {{ResourceSlot.toResourceList}} will need the {{Offer}} for context to construct the preferred {{List<Protos.Resource>}}. > Add mesos role feature > ----------------------- > > Key: AURORA-1109 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1109 > Project: Aurora > Issue Type: Story > Components: Scheduler > Reporter: zhanglong > Assignee: zhanglong > > Problems > We are from eBay platform team. Previously, we used marathon to generate > Jenkins master instance in dedicated vms and recieve resource offer from same > dedicated vms. For the details, please refer to > http://www.ebaytechblog.com/2014/04/04/delivering-ebays-ci-solution-with-apache-mesos-part-i/#.VNQUuC6_SPU > Now, we found Aurora is more stable and powerful. We are moving from Marathon > to Aurora. During the move, we found there is no mesos role in Aurora now. > But we need use mesos role way to solve the problem in section "Frameworks > stopped receiving offers after a while" of the given url. > Here is a snippet of the problem description: > We noticed occurred after we used Marathon to create the initial set of CI > masters. As those CI masters started registering themselves as frameworks, > Marathon stopped receiving any offers from Mesos; essentially, no new CI > masters could be launched. Let’s start with Marathon. In the DRF model, it > was unfair to treat Marathon in the same bucket/role alongside hundreds of > connected Jenkins frameworks. After launching all these Jenkins frameworks, > Marathon had a large resource share and Mesos would aggressively offer > resources to frameworks that were using little or no resources. Marathon was > placed last in priority and got starved out. > We decided to define a dedicated Mesos role for Marathon and to have all of > the Mesos slaves that were reserved for Jenkins master instances support that > Mesos role. Jenkins frameworks were left with the default role “”.* This > solved the problem – Mesos offered resources per role and hence Marathon > never got starved out. A framework with a special role will get resource > offers from both slaves supporting that special role and also from the > default role “”.** However, since we were using placement constraints, > Marathon accepted resource offers only from slaves that supported both the > role and the placement constraints.* > Solution > So we add role feature is the source code to solve the problem in same way: > When accept a resource offer, Aurora will send back the needed resources to > Mesos with the mesos role in resource offer. > How to configure the Mesos role: > 1.Add cmd option --mesos_role=${Mesos role name} when start Aurora scheduler. > We change the test cases according code change. Each changed test case is > green -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
