Nikita Vetoshkin created MESOS-930:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Provide slave<->executor protocol
Key: MESOS-930
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-930
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general
Reporter: Nikita Vetoshkin
Priority: Minor
This ticket is the result of the discussion started in
((http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05477.html mailing list)).
It would be great if Mesos provided protocol for slave<->executor communication
additionally to currently provided c++ based language bindings.
ocumenting
wire protocol could open ways to implement Executors in pure python or
golang or any other language. It could provide some benefits:
* in Python one could use gevent which is pretty popular
* golang has it's own eventloop builtin
* pure language binding could save a lot of trouble bridging with
unfriendly C++
* building and using pure language client could be performed using native
tools like `pip install` or `go get` without need to establish c++ dev
environment.
Before moving any further we need to decide, if this is actually a good thing
to do. According to discussion in mail list - looks like it's worth doing.
So next logical thing is to decide:
* should protocol be something utterly new
* should we document current protocol used by libprocess
* should libprocess protocol be brushed a little before documenting it for
external implementation
While waiting for discussion I'd like to start documenting current protocol.
Where can one do it in a way suitable for comments? RB?
