I don't think this is the right approach; however, there seem to be 2
components to this discussion:
1. How the values are presented (Attributes vs. a new type-aware structure)
2. How the values are determined (scripts vs. automation vs. modules)
It seems you are more interested in working on #2. If that's the case,
please make sure that you don't assume anything about #1, as we not
everyone agrees that we will use the existing attributes in the future.
On the condition of compatible with existing framework which already
rely on parsing attributes for rack information.

By all means, no matter what internal structures to use, current
behavior should be honored. btw, I'm also thinking about #1, it's too
earlier to bring up the details so far before the ticket got ACCEPTED.
Any way, I'm always open to all kind of discussion, thanks for your
comments! Joris.
For #2, you should focus on an API (module or script results) that will
support all the different methods the community wants to use to generate
this data.
As you mentioned, updating the values for a running agent is not
straightforward. A lot of design work will need to go into how these
values are propagated to frameworks that have made assumptions about
them, and which values are allowed to change vs. not.

Subject: Re: Rack awareness support for Mesos
Hi everyone
Let me summarize the discussion about Rack awareness in the community so
far. First thanks for all the comments, advices or challenges! :)
#1. Stick with attributes for rack awareness
For compatibility with existing framework, I tend to be ok with using
attributes to convey the rack information, but with the goal to do it
automatically, easy to maintain and with good attributes schema. This
will bring up below question where the controversy starts.
#2. Scripts vs programmatic way
Both can be used to set attributes, I've made my arguments in the Jira
and the Design doc, I'm not gonna to argue more here. But please take a
look discussion at MESOS-3366 before, which allow resources/attributes
discovery.
A module to implement *slaveAttributesDecorator* hook will works like
a charm here in a static way. And need to justify attributes updating.
#3. Allow updating attributes
Several cases need to be covered here:
a). Mesos runs inside VMs or container, where live migration happens, so
rack information need to be updated.
b). LLDP packets are broadcasted by the interval 10s~30s, a vendor
specific implementation, and rack information are usually stored in LLDP
daemon to be queried. Worst cases(nodes fresh reboot, or daemon restart)
would be: Mesos slave have to wait 10s~30s for a valid rack information
before register to master. Allow updating attributes will mitigate this
problem.
c). Framework affinity
Framework X prefers to run on the same nodes with another framwork Y.
For example, it's desirable for Shark or Spark-SQL to reside on the
*worker* node where Alluxio(former Tachyon) to gain more performance
boosting as SPARK-6707 ticket message {tachyon=true;us-east-1=false}
If framework could advertise agent attributes in the ResourcesOffer
process, awesome!
#4. Rearrange agents in a more scalable manner, like per rack basis
Randomly offering agents resource to framework does not improve data
locality, imagine the likelihood of a framework getting resources
underneath the same rack, at the scale of +30000 nodes. Moreover time to
randomly shuffle the agents also grows.
How about rearranging the agent in a per rack basis, and a minor change
to the way how resources are allocated will fix this.
I might not see the whole picture here, so comments are welcomed!
