Zhitao Li commented on AURORA-1109:
-----------------------------------
[~wfarner] https://reviews.apache.org/r/42126 is a prototype of the new
interface used to allocate resources from the offer with correct role
information. If we could agree this seems like the correct decision, I'll
finish it with the leftover work (command line option of specifying role, clean
up of replaced code, more testing, etc).
Thanks.

> Problems
> We are from eBay platform team. Previously, we used marathon to generate
> Jenkins master instance in dedicated vms and recieve resource offer from same
> dedicated vms. For the details, please refer to
> http://www.ebaytechblog.com/2014/04/04/delivering-ebays-ci-solution-with-apache-mesos-part-i/#.VNQUuC6_SPU
> Now, we found Aurora is more stable and powerful. We are moving from Marathon
> to Aurora. During the move, we found there is no mesos role in Aurora now.
> But we need use mesos role way to solve the problem in section "Frameworks
> stopped receiving offers after a while" of the given url.
> Here is a snippet of the problem description:
> We noticed occurred after we used Marathon to create the initial set of CI
> masters. As those CI masters started registering themselves as frameworks,
> Marathon stopped receiving any offers from Mesos; essentially, no new CI
> masters could be launched. Let’s start with Marathon. In the DRF model, it
> was unfair to treat Marathon in the same bucket/role alongside hundreds of
> connected Jenkins frameworks. After launching all these Jenkins frameworks,
> Marathon had a large resource share and Mesos would aggressively offer
> resources to frameworks that were using little or no resources. Marathon was
> placed last in priority and got starved out.
> We decided to define a dedicated Mesos role for Marathon and to have all of
> the Mesos slaves that were reserved for Jenkins master instances support that
> Mesos role. Jenkins frameworks were left with the default role “”.* This
> solved the problem – Mesos offered resources per role and hence Marathon
> never got starved out. A framework with a special role will get resource
> offers from both slaves supporting that special role and also from the
> default role “”.** However, since we were using placement constraints,
> Marathon accepted resource offers only from slaves that supported both the
> role and the placement constraints.*
> Solution
> So we add role feature is the source code to solve the problem in same way:
> When accept a resource offer, Aurora will send back the needed resources to
> Mesos with the mesos role in resource offer.
> How to configure the Mesos role:
> 1.Add cmd option --mesos_role=${Mesos role name} when start Aurora scheduler.
> We change the test cases according code change. Each changed test case is
> green
