Neil Conway commented on MESOS-3341:
------------------------------------

[~jessicahartog] -- Do you know of any frameworks that actually try to make 
such fine-precision task launches or reservation requests? Given behavior like 
MESOS-3990 and MESOS-3552, I wonder if any frameworks have actually been able 
to use this functionality reliably in the past.

> Introduce Resource Resolution

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3341
>             Project: Mesos
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Jessica Hartog
>            Priority: Minor
>
> After MESOS-1807, Mesos containers require >= 0.01 CPU resources and >= 32MB 
> Memory resources. In order to simplify accounting, Mesos should introduce 
> resource resolution.
> For example, it is possible to launch a task with 1.0000000000001 CPU (as it 
> exceeds the minimum number of CPUs and is therefore considered valid). The 
> fractional component of this task does not benefit the running process, and 
> can introduce floating point errors when Mesos is accounting its offers 
> (which we have already seen happening in MESOS-1867 and MESOS-2635). A 
> solution to this could be disallowing tasks with finer granularity than the 
> required resolution.
