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. > Consider introducing persistent agent ID > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-5368 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5368 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.2.1, 1.3.0 > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
