Bill Farner commented on AURORA-1711:
-------------------------------------
What i'm not clear on is why the specific _request_ needs to be uniquely
identified, since the operation is idempotent. Idempotence guarantees that
multiple instances can safely step on each other, provided they are trying to
achieve the same state. Does that make sense here, or am i off-base?

> Key: AURORA-1711
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1711
> Project: Aurora
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Scheduler
> Reporter: David McLaughlin
>
> I have a use case where I'm programmatically starting updates via the Aurora
> API and sometimes the request to the scheduler times out or fails, even
> though the update is written to storage and started.
> I'd like to be able to store some unique identifier on the update so that we
> can reconcile this state later. We can make this generic by allowing clients
> to store arbitrary metadata on an update (similar to how they do it with job
> configuration).
