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

             Summary: Subprocess should close inherited file descriptors earlier
                 Key: MESOS-9804
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-9804
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: libprocess
            Reporter: James Peach


The libprocess {{subprocess}} API doesn't close the file descriptors that are 
inherited across fork until after applying the child hooks. This means that the 
inherited descriptors can remain open for much longer than you expect, since 
parent and child hooks both need to be scheduled and run.

We should move the file descriptor closing as early as possible in the child. 
We might also consider having the child write a byte back to the parent so that 
we have a guaranteed synchronization point.
