James DeFelice commented on MESOS-2841: --------------------------------------- Agree that it's useful for API or UI (http(s) things). URI's don't have to be URL's though, they could just be unique names that announce capabilities. For example: {code} // define a handle that describes a storage driver capability of a framework storageCap = mesos.Handle{ uri: "urn:mesos:capability:storage", // declares specific capability of framework labels: { { "version", "v1" }, { "version", "v1.1" } }, // supported capability API versions visibility: { VisibilityMesos }, // only mesos masters and slaves can see this handle } // define a handle that describes a plugin capability of a framework mesosDnsPlugin = mesos.Handle{ uri: "urn:mesos:discovery:plugin", // declares specific capability of framework // supported capability API versions, name of the plugin, location of plugin discovery metadata labels: { { "version", "v1" }, { "name", "k8s-services-discovery-plugin" }, { "location": "http://<hostname>/service/kubernetes/mesos/discovery" } }, visibility: { VisibilityCluster }, // visible within the mesos cluster, not outside the cluster } {code} /cc [~joerg84] > FrameworkInfo should include a Labels field to support arbitrary, lightweight > metadata > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-2841 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2841 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Epic > Reporter: James DeFelice > Labels: mesosphere > > A framework instance may offer specific capabilities to the cluster: storage, > smartly-balanced request handling across deployed tasks, access to 3rd party > services outside of the cluster, etc. These capabilities may or may not be > utilized by all, or even most mesos clusters. However, it should be possible > for processes running in the cluster to discover capabilities or features of > frameworks in order to achieve a higher level of functionality and a more > seamless integration experience across the cluster. > A rich discovery API attached to the FrameworkInfo could result in some form > of early lock-in: there are probably many ways to realize cross-framework > integration and external services integration that we haven't considered yet. > Rather than over-specify a discovery info message type at the framework level > I think FrameworkInfo should expose a **very generic** way to supply metadata > for interested consumers (other processes, tasks, etc). > Adding a Labels field to FrameworkInfo reuses an existing message type and > seems to fit well with the overall intent: attaching generic metadata to a > framework instance. These labels should be visible when querying a mesos > master's state.json endpoint. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
