[Design Doc] External Resource Provider and CSI

[Chun-Hung Hsiao <ch...@apache.org>]

Folks,

As a natural extension to prior work [1, 2] to improve storage support in
Mesos,
I'm working on the general design of external resource providers,
and the specific design for external storage support through CSI [3].
The goal is to enable Mesos to manage cluster-wide resources such as EBS
volumes
and offer them to frameworks.

Please find the design doc through the following link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c4allCaldqBOLlKzzgQiurvhqmPe59qqYswjtf4gf1s/edit?usp=sharing

We'll also discuss the design in tomorrow's API working group.
Thanks for your time to review and provide feedbacks for the design!

Best,
Chun-Hung
