--------------------------------------
Summary: Containerizers assume caller will call 'destroy' if
'launch' fails.
Key: MESOS-6214
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6214
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Task
Components: containerization
Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
The planned API for nested containers is to allow launching, waiting (for
termination), and killing (currently only SIGKILL) of the nested container.
Note that this API provides no mechanism for "cleaning up" the container
because it will implicitly do so once the container terminates.
However, the containerizer currently assumes that the caller will call destroy
if the launch fails. In order to implement the agent's API for managing nested
containers, we will have to set up a failure continuation to call destroy to
ensure the cleanup occurs correctly.
Ideally, the API of the containerizer does not require the caller to call
destroy after a launch failure, given that the launch did not succeed it seems
counter-intuitive for the responsibility of clean up to be on the caller. In
addition, in the container termination case, the containerizer will implicitly
clean up (so this seems inconsistent as well).
