Pardon me if this is a newbie question. I’m trying to port an existing simulation system that is comprised of many processes. The master process is executed by a user (on a Mesos master node) and it has a custom Framework that simply launches a process, call it the “root” process”, via a CommandInfo executor on a slave node.
The root process represents a simulation system and it needs to further schedule many processes that represent various parts of the simulation (communicating via ZMQ primarily). To do this I have a second custom framework invoked by the root process that also uses CommandInfo executor semantics to launch a number of tasks I call agents. As an aside, all agents have a common base structure and a custom plugin structure where plugins represent different types of simulated hardware. Thus I’m trying to run a framework scheduler on a Mesos slave node. I that possible? Does mesos-slave know how to pass scheduler requests back to a Mesos master node? Does one have to have mesos-master running on slave nodes to do this? Am I smoking bad stuff? Advice appreciated. - Kent
