Yan Xu created MESOS-7098:
-----------------------------

             Summary: Added something like `--undefok` in Mesos flags
                 Key: MESOS-7098
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7098
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: stout
            Reporter: Yan Xu


Mesos flags currently has an {{unknowns}} argument in the {{load}} method to 
ignore unknown flags: 
https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/c2388a511c775dd6f392961b06fd7738bf051dbc/3rdparty/stout/include/stout/flags/flags.hpp#L74-L86

However to use it you can have to programmatically set it before producing a 
binary. Plus it's makes all unknown flags OK.

This makes it hard to use for operators who in the case upgrading to a new 
version of binary that stops supporting a removed flag.

Gflags supports a {{--undefok=flagname,flagname}} flag and we can do something 
similar.
