Chris Riccomini commented on SAMZA-288:
---------------------------------------
This is actually a very very old feature that used to have a UI link in the AM
dashboard. The feature was required because YARN didn't used to have a kill-job
script, which they now include. The UI link was removed, but this code was
never cleaned up. It seems more YARN-ish to just remove this code entirely and
manage job killing through YARN directly.
> Create config option to disable kill-job-over-rest

> Key: SAMZA-288
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-288
> Project: Samza
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: yarn
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Jakob Homan
> Fix For: 0.8.0
>
>
> Currently we expose a rest servlet to kill an AM:
> {code:title=ApplicationMasterRestServlet.scala} get("/am/kill") {
> client.kill(state.appAttemptId.getApplicationId)
> }{code}
> This is useful in some cases, but is also potentially dangerous in some
> environments. This feature should be toggled on or off via a config and
> probably defaulted to off.
