Kevin Sweeney commented on AURORA-1338:
---------------------------------------
[~benley] I feel like that use case is better satisfied by the Vagrant
environment - you can already spin up a small mesos cluster to test with and
launch tasks with the full Aurora config syntax available, see how all the
mesos isolator modules interact with your task, etc. Using a standalone thermos
you are restricted to a subset of those features.
There's also a lot of feature duplication between mesos - for example the CLI
acts as an admin control interface to the executor, but in mesos this is not
really needed - you can use an admin endpoint on the slave to kill tasks.
Similarly there's no reason to fsync checkpoints to disk if the observer is
hosted in the executor itself (and with the GC executor replaced by mesos task
reconciliation).
PID namespaces obviate the logic that requires thermos to be really sure it's
killing a process it owns - as an executor in mesos it owns every process.
Disk isolation and resource accounting are also provided by Mesos now (though
per-process accounting is still useful).
Thermos had these features long before Mesos did, but IMO now that the core
supports them we should take advantage of them and reduce the amount of code we
maintain.
