Yan Xu updated MESOS-6219:
--------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: One way to address this may be to have a special resource type:
{code}
message Value {
enum Type {
SCALAR = 0;
RANGES = 1;
SET = 2;
TEXT = 3;
+ AUTO = 4;
}
{code}
- We only do auto-detection for predefined resources and they are identified by
names and other fields so the {{type}} is already custom defined. i.e., it
doesn't make sense to have {{cpus}} with {{type=RANGES}}. When the parser sees
{{type=AUTO}} for {{cpus}}, it auto-detects the value and then assigns the type.
- For custom resources we don't support auto-detection anyways so {{type=AUTO}}
would be invalid and the parser would bail.)
> Improve auto-detection of predefined resource types.

> Components: containerization
> Reporter: Yan Xu
>
> Mesos agent currently auto-detects certain predefined resource types when
> they are not specified. These include cpus, mem, (root) disk, gpus and also
> MESOS-6062 is adding auto-detection for mount disks when the size is
> specified as a special value "0".
> Due to the limitation of the {{Resources}} abstraction the caller of
> {{Resources::parse()}} can't tell if a resource is intentionally specified
> with an empty value or unspecified. The current resource auto-detection in
> {{Containerizer::resources()}} resorts to scanning the {{--resources}} flag
> to check if a resource is specified, this is very fragile, e.g., it would
> think {{gpus:0}} is specified (and not auto-detected) if there is a mount
> disk with its root being {{/biggpush}}.
> It would be nice if we can have the user explicitly specify the intention to
> have value of a standard resource auto-detected (at least with the JSON
> input).
