--------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow schedulers to decide whether to consume resources 
as revocable or non-revocable.
                 Key: MESOS-5525
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5525
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Epic
          Components: framework api, allocation
            Reporter: Benjamin Mahler


The idea here is that although some resources may only be consumed in a 
revocable manner (e.g. oversubscribed resources, resources from "spot 
instances", etc), other resources may be consumed in a non-revocable manner 
(e.g. dedicated instance, on-premise machine).

However, a scheduler may wish to consume these non-revocable resources in a 
revocable manner. For example, if the scheduler has quota for non-revocable 
resources it may want not want to use its quota for a particular task and may 
wish to launch it in a revocable manner out of its fair share. See: 

In order to support this, we should adjust the meaning of revocable and 
non-revocable resources in order to allow schedulers to decide how to consume 
them. The scheduler could choose to consume non-revocable resources in a 
revocable manner in order to use its fair share of revocable resources rather 
than its quota.
