-----------------------------

             Summary: Pass 'allocated' resources for each executor to the 
resource estimator.
                 Key: MESOS-2818
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2818
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Jie Yu


Resource estimator obviously need this information to calculate, say the usage 
slack. Now the question is how. There are two approaches:

1) Pass in the allocated resources for each executor through the 
'oversubscribable()' interface.

2) Let containerizer return total resources allocated for each container when 
'usages()' are invoked.

I would suggest to take route (1) for several reasons:

1) Eventually, we'll need to pass in slave's total resources to the resource 
estimator (so that RE can calculate allocation slack). There is no way that we 
can get that from containerizer. The slave's total resources keep changing due 
to dynamic reservation. So we cannot pass in the slave total resources during 
initialization.

2) The current implementation of usages() might skip some containers if it 
fails to get statistics for that container (not an error). This will cause 
in-complete information to the RE.
