Re: Mesos-master complains about quorum being a duplicate flag on CoreOS

[Marco Massenzio]

Thanks for following up, glad we figured it out.

IMO the current behavior (and the error message) are non-intuitive and I've
filed a Jira[0] to address that.

Re: Mesos-master complains about quorum being a duplicate flag on CoreOS

[Marco Massenzio]

Command line flags are parsed using stout/flags.hpp[0] and the FlagsBase
class is derived in mesos::internal::master::Flags (see
src/master/flags.hpp[1]).

I am not sure why you are seeing that behavior on CoreOS, but I'd be
curious to know what happens if you omit the --quorum when you start
master: it should usually fail and complain that it's a required flag (when
used in conjunction with --zk).  If it works, it will emit in the logs
(towards the very beginning) all the values of the flags: what does it say
about --quorum?

Completely random question: I assume you don't already have in the
environment a MESOS_QUORUM variable exported?

If the issue persists in a "clean" OS install and a recent build, it's
definitely a bug: it'd be great if you could please file a ticket at
http://issues.apache.org/jira (feel free to assign to me).

Thanks!
