             Summary: External Containerizer can leave a task indefinitely in STAGING if the `launch` fails
                 Key: MESOS-1462
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1462
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.19.0
            Reporter: Tom Arnfeld
            Priority: Blocker


Not sure where else to create issues regarding RC software, but I guess here is as good as anywhere to record it...

I mentioned it to [~tillt] before so i'm not sure if he thought of a fix (or has one unpushed). Essentially when you launch a task through an external containerizer, if the {{launch}} command of the external process fails for whatever reason (e.g. the fetcher throws an error) the task will sit in the STAGING state and never be terminated.

At this point, I think it's acceptable to think executor hasn't registered yet, though that's not guaranteed.

Ping [~bmahler] - I think this is worth holding up the vote to investigate.
