             Summary: Provide slave<->executor protocol
                 Key: MESOS-930
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-930
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: general
            Reporter: Nikita Vetoshkin
            Priority: Minor


This ticket is the result of the discussion started in ((http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@mesos.apache.org/msg05477.html mailing list)).
It would be great if Mesos provided protocol for slave<->executor communication additionally to currently provided c++ based language bindings.
ocumenting
wire protocol could open ways to implement Executors in pure python or
golang or any other language. It could provide some benefits:
  * in Python one could use gevent which is pretty popular
  * golang has it's own eventloop builtin
  * pure language binding could save a lot of trouble bridging with
unfriendly C++
  * building and using pure language client could be performed using native
tools like `pip install` or `go get` without need to establish c++ dev
environment.

Before moving any further we need to decide, if this is actually a good thing to do. According to discussion in mail list - looks like it's worth doing.

So next logical thing is to decide:
  * should protocol be something utterly new
  * should we document current protocol used by libprocess
  * should libprocess protocol be brushed a little before documenting it for external implementation

While waiting for discussion I'd like to start documenting current protocol. Where can one do it in a way suitable for comments? RB?
