             Summary: Provide a consistent non-blocking preLaunch hook
                 Key: MESOS-7874
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7874
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules
            Reporter: Zhitao Li
            Assignee: Zhitao Li


Our use case: we need a non-blocking prelaunch hook to integrate with our own 
secret management system, and this hook needs to work under both 
{{DockerContainerizer}} and {{MesosContainerizer}}, for both {{custom 
executor}} and {{command executor}}, with proper access to {{TaskInfo}} 
(actually certain labels on it).

As of 1.3.0, the hooks in [hook.hpp | 
https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/1.3.0/include/mesos/hook.hpp] pretty 
inconsistent on these combination cases.

The closest option on is {{slavePreLaunchDockerTaskExecutorDecorator}}, however 
it has a couple of problems:

1. For DockerContainerizer + custom executor, it strips away TaskInfo and sends 
a `None()` instead;
2. This hook is not called on {{MesosContainerizer}} at all. I guess it's 
because people can implement an {{isolator}}? However, it creates extra work 
for module authors and operators.

The other option is {{masterLaunchTaskLabelDecorator}}, but it has own problems:
1. Error are silently swallowed so module cannot stop the task running sequence;
2. It's a blocking version, which means we cannot wait for another subprocess's 
or RPC result.

I'm inclined to fix the two problems on 
{{slavePreLaunchDockerTaskExecutorDecorator}}, but open to other suggestions.
