Are any allocator modules relying on requestResources() call?

requestResources() call was added to the scheduler driver a long time ago,
but was never implemented by the built-in hierarchical allocator. One of
the reasons for not implementing it was that it wasn't clear how it should
be used in the face of DRF.

I was thinking to remove the code dealing with requestResources from
master/allocator and drop the message in the scheduler driver (can't delete
for backwards compatibility). The idea is to add it to the new HTTP API
if/when a case arises.

Does anyone have issues with it? I'm mainly concerned with any allocator
modules out there which have implemented and/or rely on this call.

I see. Ok. We will keep the call and add support in the new API as well.

Hi Vinod,

Yes, we use this API in the allocator module we develop, it pretty 
fundamental for support of a wide range of policies in our mechanism!!
