Description

If a task/executor is restartable (see MESOS-3544) it might make sense to force an agent to restart these tasks/executors before after a machine reboot in the event that the machine is network partitioned away from the master (or the master has failed) but we'd like to get these services running again. Assuming the agent(s) running on the machine has not been disconnected from the master for longer than the master's agent re-registration timeout the agent should be able to re-register (i.e., after a network partition is resolved) without a problem. However, in the same way that a framework would be interested in knowing that it's tasks/executors were restarted we'd want to send something like a TASK_RESTARTED status update.
