----------------------------------
Summary: Introduce a "runtime" directory owned by the
containerizer for checkpointing container information.
Key: MESOS-6204
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6204
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Kevin Klues
Assignee: Kevin Klues
Fix For: 1.1.0
Currently the containerizer optionally checkpoints the container pid into the
agent meta directory if requested by the agent. Moveing forward, we would like
to have a containerizer-specific runtime directory where the containerizer will
checkpoint any container state it would like to maintain independent of the
agent container information that it checkpoints.
Currently, this will include the container pid as well as the container exit
status. In conjunction with the changes to the launch helper introduced by
MESOS-6088, the containerizer will now be able to better recover the container
exit status if it happens to be offline at the time that a container finishes.
This includes being able to reap the exit status from a checkpointed location
in addition to reading it directly from the container as it exits.
Originally we were planning on pushing some of this functionality down into the
LinuxLauncher, but in the end we decided it made more sense to keep all
checkpointing information in the containerizer itself. We will likely revisit
this decision in the future.
