I'll try to answer these questions. 1. Currently, the only language you can use is C++. You can workaround this by writing a proxy in c++ that delegates the calls to, say, python scripts. See http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/allocation-module/ for more details.
2. The default allocator is called "dominant resource fairness" since it tries to distribute resources fairly between active frameworks. This means it will offer all available resources to all frameworks, but each framework will get only a certain share. For more information I encourage you to take a look at the DRF paper. 3. Offered and not declined resources are considered to be used, therefore they can't be re-offered until freed. Hope this helps.
