Aaron Wood updated MESOS-7572: ------------------------------ Description: The main benefit of following symlinks in endpoints such as {code}/files{code} is that frameworks will be able to construct a path to the sandbox much easier. This will assist framework developers in making features that need to provide a path when hitting various operator API endpoints. Currently, making use of a path ending in {code}runs/latest{code} throws a 404. One such application could be a scheduler providing the ability for users to work with their task's sandbox directly without going to the Mesos UI, API endpoints, or the actual system themselves. https://reviews.apache.org/r/59641/ was: The main benefit of following symlinks in endpoints such as {code}/files{code} is that frameworks will be able to construct a path to the sandbox much easier.
