--------------------------------
Summary: Support deadline for tasks
Key: MESOS-8725
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8725
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Zhitao Li
In our environment, we run a lot of batch jobs, some of which have tight
timeline. If any tasks in the job runs longer than x hours, it does not make
sense to run it anymore.
For instance, a team would submit a job which builds a weekly index and repeats
every Monday. If the job does not finish before next Monday for whatever
reason, there is no point to keep any task running.
We believe that implementing deadline tracking distributed across our cluster
makes more sense as it makes the system more scalable and also makes our
centralized state machine simpler.
One idea I have right now is to add an *optional* *TimeInfo deadline* to
TaskInfo field, and all default executors in Mesos can simply terminate the
task and send a proper *StatusUpdate.*
