Review request for mesos and Joris Van Remoortere.
Bugs: MESOS-4687
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4687
Repository: mesos
Description
-------
Scalar resource values are represented using floating point. As a result, users
could see unexpected results when accepting offers and making reservations for
fractional resources: values like "0.1" cannot be precisely represented using
standard floating point, and the resource values returned to frameworks might
contain an unpredictable amount of roundoff error.
This commit adjusts the master to use fixed-point when doing internal
computations on scalar resource values. The fixed-point format only supports
three decimal digits of precision: that is, fractional resource values like
"0.001" will be supported, but "0.0001" will not be.

Testing
-------
make check
Manually verified that some of the floating point oddities in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4071 do not occur when this patch
is applied, although I wasn't able to reproduce the crash described in that
ticket.
REVIEW NOTES:
* We don't currently emit a warning when discarding additional digits of
precision from input scalar resource values. Should we? That would require
identifying all the points where a resource value is seemed to be
"user-provided", and also runs the risk of generating a ton of log messages
when an old framework is used.
* Similarly, if the user gives us a resource value and we don't do anything to
it, we won't discard any additional precision that appears in the value -- the
precision only gets discarded when we apply an operator like `+` or `-`.
Unclear if we should trim additional precision from all scalar resource values
more aggressively.
Thanks,
Neil Conway
