             Summary: Master detector code should stat nodes before attempting to create
                 Key: MESOS-409
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-409
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: slave
            Reporter: Bill Farner
            Priority: Minor


The master detector code currently recursively walks the permanent node path (e.g. /home/mesos/cluster), attempting to create /home, then /home/mesos, then /home/mesos/cluster; trapping NoAuth and NodeExists errors along the way.

A simple performance improvement would be to perform a stat on the full permanent path and skip the recursive creation if it exists.  Alternatively, it seems practical to forego node creation by the slave altogether, and have the slave commit suicide if the permanent node is not present.

The current behavior results in reams of zookeeper server logging when there is a master failover, as user errors are logged by default (which we'd prefer to retain).  I'm not sure what the performance impact this has on ZooKeeper, but it's non-zero and a fix seems trivial.
