<h1>Framework Development Guide</h1>
<p>In this document we refer to Mesos applications as &ldquo;frameworks&rdquo;.</p>
<p>See one of the example framework schedulers in <code>MESOS_HOME/src/examples/</code> to
get an idea of what a Mesos framework scheduler and executor in the language
of your choice looks like. <a href="https://github.com/mesosphere/RENDLER">RENDLER</a>
provides example framework implementations in C++, Go, Haskell, Java, Python
and Scala.</p>
<h2>Create your Framework Scheduler</h2>
<p>If you are writing a scheduler against Mesos 1.0 or newer, it is recommended
to use the new <a href="/documentation/latest/./scheduler-http-api/">HTTP API</a> to talk to Mesos.</p>
<p>If your framework needs to talk to Mesos 0.28.0 or older, you can write the
scheduler in C++, Java/Scala, or Python. Your framework scheduler should inherit
from the <code>Scheduler</code> class (see API below). Your scheduler should create a SchedulerDriver
(which will mediate communication between your scheduler and the Mesos master) and then call
<code>SchedulerDriver.run()</code>.</p>
<h3>Scheduler API</h3>
<p>Callback interface to be implemented by framework schedulers.</p>
<p>Declared in <code>MESOS_HOME/include/mesos/scheduler.hpp</code></p>
<pre><code class="{.cpp}">/*
* Invoked when the scheduler successfully registers with a Mesos
* master. A unique ID (generated by the master) used for
* distinguishing this framework from others and `MasterInfo`
* with the ip and port of the current master are provided as arguments.
*/
virtual void registered(
SchedulerDriver* driver,
const FrameworkID&amp; frameworkId,
const MasterInfo&amp; masterInfo);
/*
* Invoked when the scheduler re-registers with a newly elected Mesos master.
* This is only called when the scheduler has previously been registered.
* `MasterInfo` containing the updated information about the elected master
* is provided as an argument.
*/
virtual void reregistered(
SchedulerDriver* driver,
const MasterInfo&amp; masterInfo);
/*
* Invoked when the scheduler becomes "disconnected" from the master
* (e.g., the master fails and another is taking over).
*/
virtual void disconnected(SchedulerDriver* driver);
/*
* Invoked when resources have been offered to this framework. A
* single offer will only contain resources from a single slave.
* Resources associated with an offer will not be re-offered to
* _this_ framework until either (a) this framework has rejected
* those resources (see SchedulerDriver::launchTasks) or (b) those
* resources have been rescinded (see Scheduler::offerRescinded).
* Note that resources may be concurrently offered to more than one
* framework at a time (depending on the allocator being used). In
* that case, the first framework to launch tasks using those
* resources will be able to use them while the other frameworks
* will have those resources rescinded (or if a framework has
* already launched tasks with those resources then those tasks will
* fail with a TASK_LOST status and a message saying as much).
*/
virtual void resourceOffers(
SchedulerDriver* driver,
const std::vector&lt;Offer&gt;&amp; offers);
/*
* Invoked when an offer is no longer valid (e.g., the slave was
* lost or another framework used resources in the offer). If for
* whatever reason an offer is never rescinded (e.g., dropped
* message, failing over framework, etc.), a framework that attempts
* to launch tasks using an invalid offer will receive TASK_LOST
* status updates for those tasks (see Scheduler::resourceOffers).
*/
virtual void offerRescinded(SchedulerDriver* driver, const OfferID&amp; offerId);
/*
* Invoked when the status of a task has changed (e.g., a slave is
* lost and so the task is lost, a task finishes and an executor
* sends a status update saying so, etc). If implicit
* acknowledgements are being used, then returning from this
* callback _acknowledges_ receipt of this status update! If for
* whatever reason the scheduler aborts during this callback (or
* the process exits) another status update will be delivered (note,
* however, that this is currently not true if the slave sending the
* status update is lost/fails during that time). If explicit
* acknowledgements are in use, the scheduler must acknowledge this
* status on the driver.
*/
virtual void statusUpdate(SchedulerDriver* driver, const TaskStatus&amp; status);

* effort; do not expect a framework message to be retransmitted in
* any reliable fashion.

const SlaveID&amp; slaveId,
const std::string&amp; data);

* scheduler to be dropped, this callback may not be invoked.
*/

/*
* Invoked when an executor has exited/terminated. Note that any
* tasks running will have TASK_LOST status updates automagically
* generated.
*

* callback.
*/
virtual void error(SchedulerDriver* driver, const std::string&amp; message);

<h3>Scheduler Driver API</h3>
<p>The Scheduler Driver is responsible for managing the scheduler&rsquo;s lifecycle
(e.g., start, stop, or wait to finish) and interacting with Mesos Master
(e.g., launch tasks, kill tasks, etc.).</p>
<p>Note that this interface is usually not implemented by a framework itself,
but it describes the possible calls a framework scheduler can make to
interact with the Mesos Master.</p>
<p>Please note that usage of this interface requires an instantiated
MesosSchedulerDiver.
See <code>src/examples/test_framework.cpp</code> for an example of using the
MesosSchedulerDriver.</p>
<p>Declared in <code>MESOS_HOME/include/mesos/scheduler.hpp</code></p>
<pre><code class="{.cpp}">// Starts the scheduler driver. This needs to be called before any
// other driver calls are made.
virtual Status start();
// Stops the scheduler driver. If the 'failover' flag is set to
// false then it is expected that this framework will never
// reconnect to Mesos. So Mesos will unregister the framework and
// shutdown all its tasks and executors. If 'failover' is true, all
// executors and tasks will remain running (for some framework
// specific failover timeout) allowing the scheduler to reconnect
// (possibly in the same process, or from a different process, for
// example, on a different machine).
virtual Status stop(bool failover = false);
// Aborts the driver so that no more callbacks can be made to the
// scheduler. The semantics of abort and stop have deliberately been
// separated so that code can detect an aborted driver (i.e., via
// the return status of SchedulerDriver::join, see below), and
// instantiate and start another driver if desired (from within the
// same process). Note that 'stop()' is not automatically called
// inside 'abort()'.
virtual Status abort();
// Waits for the driver to be stopped or aborted, possibly
// _blocking_ the current thread indefinitely. The return status of

<h3>Handling Failures</h3>
<p>How to build Mesos frameworks that remain available in the face of failures is
discussed in a <a href="/documentation/latest/./high-availability-framework-guide/">separate document</a>.</p>
<h2>Working with Executors</h2>
<h3>Using the Mesos Command Executor</h3>
<p>Mesos provides a simple executor that can execute shell commands and Docker
containers on behalf of the framework scheduler; enough functionality for a
wide variety of framework requirements.</p>
<p>Any scheduler can make use of the Mesos command executor by filling in the
optional <code>CommandInfo</code> member of the <code>TaskInfo</code> protobuf message.</p>
<pre><code class="{.proto}">message TaskInfo {
...
optional CommandInfo command = 7;
...
}
</code></pre>
<p>The Mesos slave will fill in the rest of the <code>ExecutorInfo</code> for you when tasks
are specified this way.</p>
<p>Note that the agent will derive an <code>ExecutorInfo</code> from the <code>TaskInfo</code> and
additionally copy fields (e.g., <code>Labels</code>) from <code>TaskInfo</code> into the new
<code>ExecutorInfo</code>. This <code>ExecutorInfo</code> is only visible on the agent.</p>
<h3>Using the Mesos Default Executor</h3>
<p>Since Mesos 1.1, a new built-in default executor (<strong>experimental</strong>) is available that
can execute a group of tasks. Just like the command executor the tasks can be shell
commands or Docker containers.</p>
<p>The current semantics of the default executor are as folows:</p>
<p>&ndash; Tasks are launched as nested containers underneath the executor container.</p>
<p>&ndash; Task containers and executor container share resources like cpu, memory,
network and volumes.</p>
<p>&ndash; There is no resource isolation between different tasks within an executor.
Tasks' resources are added to the executor container.</p>
<p>&ndash; If any of the tasks exits with a non-zero exit code, all the tasks in the task group
are killed and the executor shuts down.</p>
<p>&ndash; Multiple task groups are not supported.</p>
<p>Once the default executor is considered <strong>stable</strong>, the command executor will be deprecated in favor of it.</p>
<p>Any scheduler can make use of the Mesos default executor by setting <code>ExecutorInfo.type</code>
to <code>DEFAULT</code> when launching a group of tasks using the <code>LAUNCH_GROUP</code> offer operation.
If <code>DEFAULT</code> executor is explicitly specified when using <code>LAUNCH</code> offer operation, command
executor is used instead of the default executor. This might change in the future when the default
executor gets support for handling <code>LAUNCH</code> operation.</p>
<pre><code class="{.proto}">message ExecutorInfo {
...
optional Type type = 15;
...
}
</code></pre>
<h3>Creating a custom Framework Executor</h3>
<p>If your framework has special requirements, you might want to provide your own
Executor implementation. For example, you may not want a 1:1 relationship
between tasks and processes.</p>
<p>If you are writing an executor against Mesos 1.0 or newer, it is recommended
to use the new <a href="executor-http-api">HTTP API</a> to talk to Mesos.</p>
<p>If writing against Mesos 0.28.0 or older, your framework executor must inherit
from the Executor class. It must override the launchTask() method. You can use
the $MESOS_HOME environment variable inside of your executor to determine where
Mesos is running from.</p>
<h4>Executor API</h4>
<p>Declared in <code>MESOS_HOME/include/mesos/executor.hpp</code></p>
<pre><code class="{.cpp}">/*
* Invoked once the executor driver has been able to successfully
* connect with Mesos. In particular, a scheduler can pass some
* data to its executors through the `FrameworkInfo.ExecutorInfo`'s
* data field.
*/
virtual void registered(
ExecutorDriver* driver,
const ExecutorInfo&amp; executorInfo,
const FrameworkInfo&amp; frameworkInfo,
const SlaveInfo&amp; slaveInfo);
/*
* Invoked when the executor re-registers with a restarted slave.
*/
virtual void reregistered(ExecutorDriver* driver, const SlaveInfo&amp; slaveInfo);
/*
* Invoked when the executor becomes "disconnected" from the slave
* (e.g., the slave is being restarted due to an upgrade).
*/
virtual void disconnected(ExecutorDriver* driver);
/*
* Invoked when a task has been launched on this executor (initiated
* via Scheduler::launchTasks). Note that this task can be realized
* with a thread, a process, or some simple computation, however, no
* other callbacks will be invoked on this executor until this
* callback has returned.
*/
virtual void launchTask(ExecutorDriver* driver, const TaskInfo&amp; task);
/*
* Invoked when a task running within this executor has been killed
* (via SchedulerDriver::killTask). Note that no status update will
* be sent on behalf of the executor, the executor is responsible
* for creating a new TaskStatus (i.e., with TASK_KILLED) and
* invoking ExecutorDriver::sendStatusUpdate.
*/
virtual void killTask(ExecutorDriver* driver, const TaskID&amp; taskId);
/*
* Invoked when a framework message has arrived for this
* executor. These messages are best effort; do not expect a
* framework message to be retransmitted in any reliable fashion.
*/
virtual void frameworkMessage(ExecutorDriver* driver, const std::string&amp; data);
/*
* Invoked when the executor should terminate all of its currently
* running tasks. Note that after a Mesos has determined that an
* executor has terminated any tasks that the executor did not send
* terminal status updates for (e.g., TASK_KILLED, TASK_FINISHED,
* TASK_FAILED, etc) a TASK_LOST status update will be created.
*/
virtual void shutdown(ExecutorDriver* driver);
/*
* Invoked when a fatal error has occurred with the executor and/or
* executor driver. The driver will be aborted BEFORE invoking this
* callback.
*/
virtual void error(ExecutorDriver* driver, const std::string&amp; message);
</code></pre>
<h4>Install your custom Framework Executor</h4>
<p>After creating your custom executor, you need to make it available to all slaves
in the cluster.</p>
<p>One way to distribute your framework executor is to let the
<a href="/documentation/latest/./fetcher/">Mesos fetcher</a> download it on-demand when your scheduler launches
tasks on that slave. <code>ExecutorInfo</code> is a Protocol Buffer Message class (defined
in <code>include/mesos/mesos.proto</code>), and it contains a field of type <code>CommandInfo</code>.
<code>CommandInfo</code> allows schedulers to specify, among other things, a number of
resources as URIs. These resources are fetched to a sandbox directory on the
slave before attempting to execute the <code>ExecutorInfo</code> command. Several URI
schemes are supported, including HTTP, FTP, HDFS, and S3 (e.g. see
src/examples/java/TestFramework.java for an example of this).</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can pass the <code>frameworks_home</code> configuration option
(defaults to: <code>MESOS_HOME/frameworks</code>) to your <code>mesos-slave</code> daemons when you
launch them to specify where your framework executors are stored (e.g. on an
NFS mount that is available to all slaves), then use a relative path in
<code>CommandInfo.uris</code>, and the slave will prepend the value of <code>frameworks_home</code>
to the relative path provided.</p>
<p>Once you are sure that your executors are available to the mesos-slaves, you
should be able to run your scheduler, which will register with the Mesos master,
and start receiving resource offers!</p>
<h2>Labels</h2>
<p><code>Labels</code> can be found in the <code>FrameworkInfo</code>, <code>TaskInfo</code>, <code>DiscoveryInfo</code> and
<code>TaskStatus</code> messages; framework and module writers can use Labels to tag and
pass unstructured information around Mesos. Labels are free-form key-value pairs
supplied by the framework scheduler or label decorator hooks. Below is the
protobuf definitions of labels:</p>
<pre><code class="{.proto}"> optional Labels labels = 11;
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="{.proto}">/**
* Collection of labels.
*/
message Labels {
repeated Label labels = 1;
}
/**
* Key, value pair used to store free form user-data.
*/
message Label {
required string key = 1;
optional string value = 2;
}
</code></pre>
<p>Labels are not interpreted by Mesos itself, but will be made available over
master and slave state endpoints. Further more, the executor and scheduler can
introspect labels on the <code>TaskInfo</code> and <code>TaskStatus</code> programmatically.
Below is an example of how two label pairs (<code>"environment": "prod"</code> and
<code>"bananas": "apples"</code>) can be fetched from the master state endpoint.</p>
<pre><code class="{.sh}">$ curl http://master/state.json
...
{
"executor_id": "default",
"framework_id": "20150312-120017-16777343-5050-39028-0000",
"id": "3",
"labels": [
{
"key": "environment",
"value": "prod"
},
{
"key": "bananas",
"value": "apples"
}
],
"name": "Task 3",
"slave_id": "20150312-115625-16777343-5050-38751-S0",
"state": "TASK_FINISHED",
...
},
</code></pre>
<h2>Service discovery</h2>
<p>When your framework registers an executor or launches a task, it can provide
additional information for service discovery. This information is stored by
the Mesos master along with other imporant information such as the slave
currently running the task. A service discovery system can programmatically
retrieve this information in order to set up DNS entries, configure proxies,
or update any consistent store used for service discovery in a Mesos cluster
that runs multiple frameworks and multiple tasks.</p>
<p>The optional <code>DiscoveryInfo</code> message for <code>TaskInfo</code> and <code>ExecutorInfo</code> is
declared in <code>MESOS_HOME/include/mesos/mesos.proto</code></p>
<pre><code class="{.proto}">message DiscoveryInfo {
enum Visibility {
FRAMEWORK = 0;
CLUSTER = 1;
EXTERNAL = 2;
}
required Visibility visibility = 1;
optional string name = 2;
optional string environment = 3;
optional string location = 4;
optional string version = 5;
optional Ports ports = 6;
optional Labels labels = 7;
}
</code></pre>
<p><code>Visibility</code> is the key parameter that instructs the service discovery system
whether a service should be discoverable. We currently differentiate between
three cases:</p>
<ul>
<li>a task should not be discoverable for anyone but its framework.</li>
<li>a task should be discoverable for all frameworks running on the Mesos cluster
but not externally.</li>
<li>a task should be made discoverable broadly.</li>
</ul>
<p>Many service discovery systems provide additional features that manage the
visibility of services (e.g., ACLs in proxy based systems, security extensions
to DNS, VLAN or subnet selection). It is not the intended use of the visibility
field to manage such features. When a service discovery system retrieves the
task or executor information from the master, it can decide how to handle tasks
without <code>DiscoveryInfo</code>. For instance, tasks may be made non discoverable to
other frameworks (equivalent to <code>visibility=FRAMEWORK</code>) or discoverable to all
frameworks (equivalent to <code>visibility=CLUSTER</code>).</p>
<p>The <code>name</code> field is a string that provides the service discovery system
with the name under which the task is discoverable. The typical use of the name
field will be to provide a valid hostname. If name is not provided, it is up to
the service discovery system to create a name for the task based on the name
field in <code>taskInfo</code> or other information.</p>
<p>The <code>environment</code>, <code>location</code>, and <code>version</code> fields provide first class support
for common attributes used to differentiate between similar services in large
deployments. The <code>environment</code> may receive values such as <code>PROD/QA/DEV</code>, the
<code>location</code> field may receive values like <code>EAST-US/WEST-US/EUROPE/AMEA</code>, and the
<code>version</code> field may receive values like v2.0/v0.9. The exact use of these fields
is up to the service discovery system.</p>
<p>The <code>ports</code> field allows the framework to identify the ports a task listens to
and explicitly name the functionality they represent and the layer-4 protocol
they use (TCP, UDP, or other). For example, a Cassandra task will define ports
like <code>"7000,Cluster,TCP"</code>, <code>"7001,SSL,TCP"</code>, <code>"9160,Thrift,TCP"</code>,
<code>"9042,Native,TCP"</code>, and <code>"7199,JMX,TCP"</code>. It is up to the service discovery
system to use these names and protocol in appropriate ways, potentially
combining them with the <code>name</code> field in <code>DiscoveryInfo</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>labels</code> field allows a framework to pass arbitrary labels to the service
discovery system in the form of key/value pairs. Note that anything passed
through this field is not guaranteed to be supported moving forward.
Nevertheless, this field provides extensibility. Common uses of this field will
allow us to identify use cases that require first class support.</p>
