Bernd Mathiske commented on MESOS-4392:
---------------------------------------
Except for you last sentence, which I do not understand, I agree. It makes
sense if a framework uses only non-revocable resources up to its quota. Note
that if it does not set a quota limit, it can still use resources beyond its
guarantee and those resources we now want to be revocable by default.
> Balance quota frameworks with non-quota, greedy frameworks.

> Maximize resource utilization and minimize starvation risk for both quota
> frameworks and non-quota, greedy frameworks when competing with each other.
> A greedy analytics batch system wants to use as much of the cluster as
> possible to maximize computational throughput. When a competing web service
> with fixed task size starts up, there must be sufficient resources to run it
> immediately. The operator can reserve these resources by setting quota.
> However, if these resources are kept idle until the service is in use, this
> is wasteful from the analytics job's point of view. On the other hand, the
> analytics job should hand back reserved resources to the service when needed
> to avoid starvation of the latter.
> We can assume that often, the resources needed by the service will be of the
> non-revocable variety. Here we need to introduce clearer distinctions between
> oversubscribed and revocable resources that are not oversubscribed. An
> oversubscribed resource cannot be converted into a non-revocable resource,
> not even by preemption. In contrast, a non-oversubscribed, revocable resource
> can be converted into a non-revocable resource.
> Another related topic is optimistic offers. The pertinent aspect in this
> context is again whether resources are oversubscribed or not.
