7:00pm: Vinod Kone - HTTP APIs for frameworks

HTTP APIs for Frameworks

Currently Mesos frameworks (schedulers and executors) interact with Mesos via drivers provided by the Mesos project. While the drivers helped in providing some common functionality for all frameworks (master detection, authentication, validation etc), they have several drawbacks. Frameworks need to depend on a native library which makes their build/deploy process cumbersome. The need for bi-directional connections makes it hard for schedulers to run in containers or behind firewalls. The Mesos API is undocumented which makes it really hard for pure language frameworks to use off-the-shelf HTTP libraries to interact with it. This talk will give an overview of the new v1 Framework API that addresses the above concerns. In particular the focus will be on the motivation, design and implementation of the API, as well as pointers to reference implementations and examples for framework writers and operators.
