Description

JVM frameworks such as Marathon use the local master mode for testing purposes (passed through as the `--master local` parameter).

This doesn't not to work in Mesos 0.19.0 because of the new mandatory registry and quorum parameters. There is no way to set these for local masters - it emits the following message before terminating the framework:
`--work_dir needed for replicated log based registry`.
