--------------------------------
Summary: Consider adding `relink` functionality to libprocess
Key: MESOS-5740
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5740
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: libprocess
Reporter: Joseph Wu
Assignee: Joseph Wu
Currently we don't have the {{relink}} functionality in libprocess. i.e. A way
to create a new persistent connection between actors, even if a connection
already exists.
This can benefit us in a couple of ways:
- The application may have more information on the state of a connection than
libprocess does, as libprocess only checks if the connection is alive or not.
For example, a linkee may accept a connection, then fork, pass the connection
to a child, and subsequently exit. As the connection is still active,
libprocess may not detect the exit.
- Sometimes, the {{ExitedEvent}} might be delayed or might be dropped due to
the remote instance being unavailable (e.g., partition, network intermediaries
not sending RST's etc).
