[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-2307) Add a Future state for gone processes

["Benjamin Mahler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2307?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14299167#comment-14299167 ] 

Benjamin Mahler commented on MESOS-2307:
----------------------------------------

This has come up before ([example here|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1456?focusedCommentId=14018375&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14018375] and [here|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1866]), we were considering failing futures for dispatches to unknown processes. Any reason not to re-use Failure for this case?

Are you seeing this in a specific place?

> If the libprocess process is terminated, we can still dispatch calls to it as long as we have a {{UPID}}. In this case the future will be pending forever. Instead, it would be better to introduce a separate state for such case, e.g. {{Disconnected}}, {{Abandoned}}.
