Description

http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/endpoints/slave/containers/ describes the stats that are available upon probing an agent. If tasks start and finish quickly, they might be missed between probes of the /containers endpoint. The endpoint documentation states that only running containers are described.

This ask is that recently terminated containers still report their stats for a configurable time, and an extra field be added to the json indicating if the container is currently running or not.
