Adam B commented on MESOS-2841: ------------------------------- This feels over-engineered. Why not just add a top-level Labels field (as Neil did in his RR below)? If we want to add more structured metadata, that can go at the top-level of FrameworkInfo too, just like webui_url, capabilities, name, etc. > 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: Improvement > Reporter: James DeFelice > Assignee: Neil Conway > 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)
