Kannan Rajah commented on MESOS-1279: ------------------------------------- This JIRA has not been updated in a year. This feature will benefit Apache Myriad which launches place holder tasks to represent the YARN containers. These container sizes will keep varying and so we need a way to resize the place holder tasks to avoid wasting resources. Currently, we are thinking of a workaround in Myriad itself. But I would like to know if there is a plan on when the feature will be implemented. > Add resize task primitive > ------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-1279 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1279 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: c++ api, master, slave > Reporter: Niklas Quarfot Nielsen > > As mentioned in MESOS-938, one way to support task replacement and scaling > could be to split the responsibility into several smaller primitives for 1) > reducing complexity 2) Make it easier to comprehend and 3) easier and > incremental in implementation. > resizeTask() would be the primitive to either > 1) Scale a running task's resources down > 2) Scale a running task's resources up by using extra auxiliary offers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
