Eron Wright commented on FLINK-9611:
-------------------------------------
I really like this idea, except for the proposed name because it has a
connotation of overlaying the 'user' (which is sort of what happens with the
Kerberos overlay). Maybe 'MesosCustomOverlay'.
> Allow for user-defined artifacts to be specified as part of a mesos overlay

> Key: FLINK-9611
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9611
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configuration, Docker, Mesos
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Addison Higham
> Priority: Major
>
> NOTE: this assumes mesos, but this improvement could also be useful for
> future container deployments.
> Currently, when deploying to mesos, the "Overlay" functionality is used to
> determine which artifacts are to be downloaded into the container. However,
> there isn't a way to plug in your own artifacts to be downloaded into the
> container. This can cause problems with certain deployment models.
> For example, if you are running flink in docker on mesos, you cannot easily
> use a private docker image. Typically with mesos and private docker images,
> you specify credentials as a URI to be downloaded into the container that
> give permissions to download the private image. Typically, this credentials
> expire after a few days, so baking them into a docker host isn't a solution.
> It would make sense to add a `MesosUserOverlay` that would simplify take some
> new configuration parameters and add any custom artifacts (or possibly also
> environment variables?)
> Another solution (or longer term solution) might be to allow for dynamically
> loading an overlay class for even further customization of the container
> specification.
