> All roles and weights must currently be specified up-front when starting Mesos masters currently. In addition, they should be consistent on every master, otherwise unexpected behavior could occur (You can have them be inconsistent for some upgrade paths / changing the set).
> This makes it hard to introduce new groups of machines under new roles dynamically (Have to generate a new master configuration, deploy that, before we can connect slaves with a new role to the cluster).
> Ideally an administrator can manually add / remove / edit roles and have the settings replicated / passed to all masters in the cluster by Mesos. Effectively Mesos takes ownership of the setting, rather than requiring it to be done externally.
> In addition, if a new slave joins the cluster with an unexpected / new role that should just work, making it much easier to introduce machines with new roles. (Policy around whether or not a slave can cause creation of a new role, a given slave can register with a given role, etc. is out of scope, and would be controls in the general registration process).
