Tim Harper commented on MESOS-5368:
-----------------------------------
One particular pain of not having this feature is it takes Mesos longer than
necessary to recognize that a task is definitely gone. Were we to have
persistent agent IDs, then, when the agent re-registered, it could tell Mesos,
"yes, that task is definitely dead", where-as right now it is left perpetually
in the unreachable state until Mesos gives up on the agent.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Neil Conway
> Labels: mesosphere
>
> Currently, agent IDs identify a single "session" by an agent: that is, an
> agent receives an agent ID when it registers with the master; it reuses that
> agent ID if it disconnects and successfully reregisters; if the agent shuts
> down and restarts, it registers anew and receives a new agent ID.
> It would be convenient to have a "persistent agent ID" that remains the same
> for the duration of a given agent {{work_dir}}. This would mean that a given
> persistent volume would not migrate between different persistent agent IDs
> over time, for example (see MESOS-4894). If we supported permanently removing
> an agent from the cluster (i.e., the {{work_dir}} and any volumes used by the
> agent will never be reused), we could use the persistent agent ID to report
> which agent has been removed.
