include/mesos/resource_provider/resource_provider.proto Lines 56-66 (patched) <https://reviews.apache.org/r/63094/#comment265477> I would prefer if we would not assume that this number changes for _every_ resource change, but just for failures. * * * For one we do not want users to assume that this number has certain values so we can recognize failures. Imagine a user applied an operation to the resource provider resources (`sequence_id=0`), and the agent speculated that the new `sequence_id` would be `1`. Now the operation fails in the RP and its `sequence_id` would be incremented to `1`. We cannot distinguish a case where the agent assumed the operation succeeded from a case where it failed based on the clock value alone in this case. Would we just increase this number in case of failures it would be clear that any operation assuming `sequence_id=0` would be invalid after the failure since the agent would be unlikely to assume failures on a "normal" execution path. * * * Another reason would be that it would be great to be able to use similar notions of `sequence_id` for the agent's view of its RPs, and the master's view of its agents. We plan to implement speculative application of "legacy" offer operations like e.g., `RESERVE`, `CREATE` in the master, and incrementing this number even in successful cases would require too much knowledge about how the agent applies these operations in the master. Imagine an agent with resource provider resources `disk(*):1` and `disk(*):1` (each `disk` from a different resource provider). The agent will expose `disk(*):2` to the master. A framework now reserves, `disk(*):2->disk(A):2`. The agent would inform the resource providers about that operation. Let's say the first of these operations succeeds, but the second on fails (the argument works as well for the other order, or even concurrent application). Having the master increment this `resource_sequence_id` for speculated operations would require it to know that the single `RESERVE` operation did map onto two state changes, i.e., it should have incremented its agent `resource_sequence_id` by two instead of just by one. This seems not only leaky, but also inflexible since it becomes hard to decompose an agent's resources without affecting the master's assumptions. * * * Having `sequence_id` just increase in case of failures would eliminate a large class of cases where users would need to make assumption about how it does change. Instead we would more clearly move into a direction where it is only changed by pushes from lower layers (where an operation either succeeded or failed) to user layers above. This should also simplify how we would project multiple `sequence_id`s onto a single `sequence_id` (multiple resource provider `sequence_id`s onto agent `sequence_id`); in that case we could just take the maximum of all RP IDs and the agent ID (e.g., last failure of an operation on any RP is equivalent to last failure of any operation on the agent). Counting all operations makes this harder, especially when thinking of master-speculated operations. - Benjamin Bannier On Oct. 18, 2017, 1:12 a.m., Jie Yu wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
