Group environment

[bsideup]

Hi!

For projects like Spring Cloud it would be great if Marathon will allow to specify environment variables for group.

For instance, a group of apps could share environment variable CONFIG_SERVER_URL.

Thanks!

Thanks for the request, I'll add it to our backlog.

Some things to consider:

• It probably should form a hierarchy. Inner groups inherit variables from outer groups. Environment variables on inner groups should override environment variables on outer groups.
• Environment variables defined in an app definition should override all environment variables that are inherited.
• We should expose the "effective" environment variables when GETing an app. Maybe we should also indicate the source of the environment definition.
• Updating the environment variables of a group, must result in restarting all apps for which the effective environment variables change.
