---------------------------------

[~adam-mesos] Let me change it to in progress. I need to find a way to start two Master in unit tests.

> Some of the API endpoints, for example /master/tasks.json, will return bogus information if you query a non-leading master:
> {code}
> [steven@Anesthetize:~]% curl http://master1.mesos-vpcqa.otenv.com:5050/master/tasks.json | jq . | head -n 10
> {
>   "tasks": []
> }
> [steven@Anesthetize:~]% curl http://master2.mesos-vpcqa.otenv.com:5050/master/tasks.json | jq . | head -n 10
> {
>   "tasks": []
> }
> [steven@Anesthetize:~]% curl http://master3.mesos-vpcqa.otenv.com:5050/master/tasks.json | jq . | head -n 10
> {
>   "tasks": [
>     {
>       "executor_id": "",
>       "framework_id": "20140724-231003-419644938-5050-1707-0000",
>       "id": "pp.guestcenterwebhealthmonitor.606cd6ee-4b50-11e4-825b-5212e05f35db",
>       "name": "pp.guestcenterwebhealthmonitor.606cd6ee-4b50-11e4-825b-5212e05f35db",
>       "resources": {
>         "cpus": 0.25,
>         "disk": 0,
> {code}
> This is very hard for end-users to work around.  For example if I query "which master is leading" followed by "leader: which tasks are running" it is possible that the leader fails over in between, leaving me with an incorrect answer and no way to know that this happened.
> In my opinion the API should return the correct response (by asking the current leader?) or an error (500 Not the leader?) but it's unacceptable to return a successful wrong answer.
