[jira] [Commented] (AURORA-1946) Make STARTING a transient state

["Santhosh Kumar Shanmugham (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1946?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16172381#comment-16172381 ] 

Santhosh Kumar Shanmugham commented on AURORA-1946:
---------------------------------------------------

Just realized that {{STARTING}} state although can be treated as a Transient state, the timeout depends on the {{HealthCheckConfig}} which dictates how long the {{Task}} can stay in {{STARTING}}. Further {{HealthCheckConfig}} is an {{Executor}} concept that the Scheduler does not care about. So it does not make sense to convert {{STARTING}} into a Transient state that will degrade into a {{LOST}} state base on a common timeout value.

> We saw a case where an update was stuck in {{IN_PROGRESS}} state, after a task's status update from {{STARTING}} to {{FAILED}} was lost. In the ideal scenario the {{Task}} should have been transitioned into {{LOST}} due to a transient state. But {{STARTING}} is not a transient state.
