             Summary: Oversubscription for reservation
                 Key: MESOS-4967
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4967
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Epic
          Components: master
            Reporter: Klaus Ma


Reserved resources allow frameworks and cluster operators to ensure sufficient 
resources are available when needed.  Reservations are usually made to 
guarantee there are enough resources under peak loads. Often times, reserved 
resources are not actually allocated; in other words, the frameworks do not use 
those resources and they sit reserved, but idle.

This underutilization is either an opportunity cost or a direct cost, 
particularly to the cluster operator.  Reserved but unallocated resources held 
by a Lender Framework could be optimistically offered to other frameworks, 
which we refer to as Tenant Frameworks.  When the resources are requested back 
by the Lender Framework, some of the Tenant Framework’s tasks are evicted and 
the original resource offer guarantee is preserved.

The first step is to identify when resources are reserved, but not allocated.  
We then offer these reserved resources to other frameworks, but mark these 
offered resources as revocable resources.  This allows Tenant Frameworks to use 
these resources temporarily in a 'best-effort' fashion, knowing that they could 
be revoked or reclaimed at any time.
