-----------------------------
Summary: Improve auto-detection of built-in resources
Key: MESOS-6219
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6219
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: containerization
Reporter: Yan Xu
Mesos agent currently auto-detects certain standard resources when they are not
specified. These include cpus, mem, (root) disk, gpus and also MESOS-6062 is
adding auto-detection for mount disks when the size is specified as a special
value "0".
Due to the limitation of the {{Resources}} abstraction the caller of
{{Resources::parse()}} can't tell if a resource is intentionally specified with
an empty value or unspecified. The current resource auto-detection in
{{Containerizer::resources()}} resorts to scanning the {{--resources}} flag to
check if resource is specified, this is very fragile, e.g., it would think
{{gpus:0}} is specified (ant not auto-detected) if there is a mount disk with
its root being {{/biggpush}}.
It would be nice if we can have the user explicitly specify the intention to
have value of a standard resource auto-detected (at least with the JSON input).
