             Summary: Associate libprocess delays uniquely with a ProcessReference
                 Key: MESOS-7551
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7551
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: libprocess
            Reporter: Greg Mann


Currently, when a libprocess actor calls {{delay}}, the target PID is passed to {{ProcessManager::deliver}}, which looks up the target with {{use()}}. This means that the process is looked up using its process ID, rather than using a unique process reference.

This means that when running a test in repetition, it's possible that delays executed by a particular actor can be unexpectedly dispatched to an actor with the same process ID in subsequent iterations of the test. This can be an issue when actors are initialized explicitly with a particular PID.

We could instead capture a {{ProcessReference}} when the delay is initially called, and dispatch to the unique reference.
