-----------------------------------
Adam, thanks for your remind. i will ask a shepherd to push the design.
> Allow http endpoint to dynamically change the slave attributes
> --------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MESOS-3059
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3059
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Nitin
> Labels: mesosphere
>
> This is well understood that - changing the attributes dynamically is not
> safe without a restart because slave itself may not know which old framework
> tasks are running on it that were dependent on previous attributes.
> However, total restart makes lot of other history to delete. We need to
> ensure a dynamic attribute changes with a soft restart.
> It will be good to expose a rest endpoint either at slave or mesos-master
> which directly changes the state in zookeeper.
> USE-CASE
> We use slave attributes/roles to direct the framework scheduling to use
> specific slave as per it's requirements. Mesos scheduler only creates the
> offer on the basis of some resources.
> In our use case, we have some categorization of our spark frameworks or jobs
> with framework(like marathon) based on multiple factors. We want job or
> frameworks belonging to one category be running into their specific cluster
> of resources. We want to dynamically manage the slaves into these logical
> sub-clusters.
> Since number of jobs that will be submitted or when it will be submitted is
> very dynamic, it make sense to be able to dynamically assign roles or
> attributes to slaves. It is not possible to gauge the requirements at time of
> cluster provisioning. Static role or attribute assignment leads to
> sub-optimal use of the cluster.
