-------------------------------------

             Summary: Command Executors do not have Executor IDs in the master.
                 Key: MESOS-527
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-527
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Benjamin Mahler


The webui is broken for command executors because the master does not know the 
executor ID for the tasks using a command executor. This is because the Task 
protobuf only has the executor_id field, no other field to indicate the 
presence of the command executor.

It seems the slave also doesn't set the Task.executor_id for command executors, 
thus relying on it being optionally set in executorTerminated() to determine 
whether the task used a command executor.

This all seems pretty messy, a few things to consider:

1) Should we simply always set the Task.executor_id for these tasks? The master 
could do so currently, but there would be an implicit contract that the slave 
and master both use the task id as the executor id.

2) We can add a boolean is_command_executor to Task, so that both the master 
and slave can set the field, and the slave can use the boolean in 
executorTerminated() to determine whether the task used a command executor.

3) Alternatively, we can add a /frameworks/FID/tasks/TID url format for the 
broken links on the master webui, so that we can search for the task in the 
slave state to locate its executor.
