Description

Experience has shown that the Docker CLI can hang indefinitely at times. There are many variations of this behavior, and it occurs across many versions of Docker. For these reasons, and since many users of Mesos still make heavy use of the Docker containerizer and the Docker executor, it will improve the user experience to make the Docker containerizer/executor resilient to such Docker daemon failures.
