Job Constraints from Marathon or Spark

[Rodrick Brown]

I have a few dozen marathon and spark jobs I would like to use constraints with 
across my slaves but I can never get this to work at all using the latest 
release 0.25.1 

I have the following set on a few of my slaves. 

slaves[1-5]
$ cat /etc/mesos-slave/attributes
'rack:1;zone:us-west-2c;owner:spark'

slaves[6-10]
$ cat /etc/mesos-slave/attributes
‘rack:2;zone:us-west-2a;owner:microservices'

I have the following marathon job definition no matter what I do I can never 
get constraints to work other than the basic ones like hostname:UNIQUE or 
hostname:CLUSTER:codename
What could I be doing wrong? The job tries to deploy but stays in waiting mode 
forever. 

{
    "id": “mu-xxxx-service",
    "cmd": "env && /opt/orchard/xxxx-xxxx-server/bin/run_jar.sh",
    "cpus": 1.0,
    "mem": 4096,
    "disk": 100,
    "instances": 2,
                "constraints": [
      [
        "rack",
        "LIKE",
        “2",
        "UNIQUE"
      ]
    ],
    "maxLaunchDelaySeconds": 1,
    "backoffFactor": 1.20,
    "healthChecks": [
      {
        "gracePeriodSeconds": 3,
        "intervalSeconds": 10,
        "maxConsecutiveFailures": 3,
        "portIndex": 0,
        "protocol": "TCP",
        "timeoutSeconds": 5
      }
    ],
    "ports": [
       0,
       0
    ],
        "upgradeStrategy": {
        "minimumHealthCapacity": 0.5,
        "maximumOverCapacity": 0.5
    }
}

I’ve also tried running spark jobs like this

timeout 3600 /opt/spark-1.4.1-bin-hadoop2.4/bin/spark-submit --conf 
spark.mesos.constraints="rack:1" 

Jobs still get executed on all slaves.
