-------------------------------------
Summary: Consider adding `unlink` functionality to libprocess
Key: MESOS-5364
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5364
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Anand Mazumdar
Currently we don't have the {{unlink}} functionality in libprocess i.e.
Erlang's equivalent of http://erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#unlink-1. We have
a lot of places in our current code with {{TODO's}} for implementing it.
It can benefit us in a couple of ways:
- Based on the business logic of the actor, it would want to authoritatively
communicate that it is no longer interested in {{ExitedEvent}} for the external
remote link.
- Sometimes, the {{ExitedEvent}} might be delayed or might be dropped due to
the remote instance being unavailable (e.g., partition, network intermediaries
not sending RST's etc).
I did not find any old JIRA's pertaining to this but I did come across an
initial attempt to add this though albeit for injecting {{exited}} events as
part of the initial review for MESOS-1059.
