Review request for mesos, Ben Mahler, Rob Todd, and Vikrama Ditya.
Changes
-------
Rebased on top of pre-commits for the Nvidia GPU isolator patch set.
Bugs: MESOS-4860
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4860
Repository: mesos
Description
-------
This script can be used to install the Nvidia GPU Deployment Kit (GDK)
on a mesos development machine. The purpose of the GDK is to provide
stubs for compiling code against Nvidia's latest drivers. It includes
all the necessary header files (nvml.h) and library files
(libnvidia-ml.so) necessary to build mesos with Nvidia GPU support.
However, it does not actually contain any driver code, and it can't be
used to interact with any GPUs installed on a system. For that, you
will have to find the latest released drivers themselves.
We provide this script only for convenience, so that developers
working on non-GPU equipped systems can build code with Nvidia GPU
support. It is a simple wrapper around the official GDK installer
script provided by Nvidia, which can be downloaded here:
https://developer.nvidia.com/gpu-deployment-kit
The script itself takes a few parameters. Run it as
'support/install-nvidia-gdk.sh --help' to see its usage semantics.

Testing
-------
I ran the script on my Mac to verify that it fails out cleanly.
I ran it on a linux box to exercise each of the different flags that can be
passed to it.
```
install-nvidia-gdk.sh --install-dir=<root_directory>
install-nvidia-gdk.sh --install-dir=<non_root_directory>
install-nvidia-gdk.sh --install-dir=<root_directory> --update-ldcache
install-nvidia-gdk.sh --install-dir=<non_root_directory> --update-ldcache
```
With each combination, I verified that the proper error messages were reported,
or that the installation was successful.
As per one of the comments below, I also temporarily changed the download URL
for the installer to make sure that the `wget` call errored out cleanly.
Thanks,
Kevin Klues
