Hi Whitney, While we could conceivably set the container id in the environment of the executor, I would like to understand the problem you are facing.
The fetching and extracting of the executor is done in by mesos-fetcher, a process forked by slave and run under slave's cgroup. AFAICT, this shouldn't cause an OOM in the executor. Does your executor do more fetches/extracts once it is launched (e.g., for user's tasks)?
