Jie Yu updated MESOS-6467:
--------------------------
Shepherd: Jie Yu
> Build a Container I/O Switchboard
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-6467
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6467
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Kevin Klues
> Assignee: Kevin Klues
> Labels: debugging, mesosphere
>
> In order to facilitate attach operations for a running container, we plan to
> introduce a new component into Mesos known as an “I/O switchboard”. The goal
> of this switchboard is to allow external components to *dynamically*
> interpose on the {{stdin}}, {{stdout}} and {{stderr}} of the init process of
> a running Mesos container. It will be implemented as a per-container,
> stand-alone process launched by the mesos containerizer at the time a
> container is first launched.
> Each per-container switchboard will be responsible for the following:
> * Accepting a single dynamic request to register an fd for streaming data to
> the {{stdin}} of a container’s init process.
> * Accepting *multiple* dynamic requests to register fds for streaming data
> from the {{stdout}} and {{stderr}} of a container’s init process to those fds.
> * Allocating a pty for the new process (if requested), and directing data
> through the master fd of the pty as necessary.
> * Passing the *actual* set of file descriptors that should be dup’d onto the
> {{stdin}}, {{stdout}} and {{stderr}} of a container’s init process back to
> the containerizer.
> The idea being that the switchboard will maintain three asynchronous loops
> (one each for {{stdin}}, {{stdout}} and {{stderr}}) that constantly pipe data
> to/from a container’s init process to/from all of the file descriptors that
> have been dynamically registered with it.
