----------------------------------------
Summary: Document use of mesos specific future design patterns in
gmock test framework
Key: MESOS-4317
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4317
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Documentation
Reporter: Avinash Sridharan
Priority: Minor
Mesos relies heavily on google test and google mock frameworks for its unit
test infrastructure. In order to support unit testing of mesos classes that are
inherently designed to be multi-threaded (or multi-process), and asynchronous
in nature, the libprocess future/promise design patterns have been used to
expose a set of API that allow for asynchronous callbacks within the mesos
specific gmock test framework (3rdparty/libprocess/include/process/gmock.hpp) .
Given that these future/promise based API is very specific to the apache mesos
test framework it would be good to have documentation to better inform
developers (especially newbies) of the infrastructure and its use-cases.
