Steven Schlansker updated MESOS-1865:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Some of the API endpoints, for example /master/tasks.json, will return bogus 
information if you query a non-leading master:

{code}
[steven@Anesthetize:~]% curl 
http://master1.mesos-vpcqa.otenv.com:5050/master/tasks.json | jq . | head -n 10
{
  "tasks": []
}
[steven@Anesthetize:~]% curl 
http://master2.mesos-vpcqa.otenv.com:5050/master/tasks.json | jq . | head -n 10
{
  "tasks": []
}
[steven@Anesthetize:~]% curl 
http://master3.mesos-vpcqa.otenv.com:5050/master/tasks.json | jq . | head -n 10
{
  "tasks": [
    {
      "executor_id": "",
      "framework_id": "20140724-231003-419644938-5050-1707-0000",
      "id": 
"pp.guestcenterwebhealthmonitor.606cd6ee-4b50-11e4-825b-5212e05f35db",
      "name": 
"pp.guestcenterwebhealthmonitor.606cd6ee-4b50-11e4-825b-5212e05f35db",
      "resources": {
        "cpus": 0.25,
        "disk": 0,
{code}

This is very hard for end-users to work around.  For example if I query "which 
master is leading" followed by "master: which tasks are running" it is possible 
that the leader fails over in between, leaving me with an incorrect answer and 
no way to know that this happened.

In my opinion the API should return the correct response (by asking the current 
leader?) or an error (500 Not the leader?) but it's unacceptable to return a 
successful wrong answer.
