This document provides an overview of the Apache Mesos distributed systems framework. It discusses Mesos' architecture for sharing computer clusters between multiple frameworks like Hadoop and MPI. Mesos uses a master-slave model with the master offering resources to frameworks, which can then launch tasks on slave nodes. The document reviews Mesos' design decisions, implementation in C++, strengths like modularity, and weaknesses like some duplicate abstractions. It also analyzes Mesos' source code structure and identifies areas for design improvement.
