Klaus Ma commented on MESOS-2930:
---------------------------------
i'm thinking to use this to adjust resources dynamcally, for example, if
hardware changed, we gonna increase or decrease accordingly without restarting
the slave.
> Allow the Resource Estimator to express over-allocation of revocable
> resources.

> Currently the resource estimator returns the amount of oversubscription
> resources that are available, since resources cannot be negative, this allows
> the resource estimator to express the following:
> (1) Return empty resources: We are fully allocated for oversubscription
> resources.
> (2) Return non-empty resources: We are under-allocated for oversubscription
> resources. In other words, some are available.
> However, there is an additional situation that we cannot express:
> (3) Analogous to returning non-empty "negative" resources: We are
> over-allocated for oversubscription resources. Do not re-offer any of the
> over-allocated oversubscription resources that are recovered.
> Without (3), the slave can only shrink the total pool of oversubscription
> resources by returning (1) as resources are recovered, until the pool is
> shrunk to the desired size. However, this approach is only best-effort, it's
> possible for a framework to launch more tasks in the window of time (15
> seconds by default) that the slave polls the estimator.
