Qian Zhang commented on MESOS-4392:
-----------------------------------
Agree. The focus of this ticket should be how to lend out the unused resources
within quota guarantee and revoke them back when needed. Quota limit should not
be the focus at least for now.
> 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.
