Hitesh Shah commented on TEZ-1075:
----------------------------------

[~airbots]

bq. 2) In session mode, if there is a zero Vertex DAG in the middle between two 
non-zero vertex DAGs;
What would a user do by running a zero vertex DAG? What is the point of running 
such a DAG?

A zero-vertex DAG is legitimate - the question I have is in what scenario 
should Tez allow someone to submit such a DAG and use up resources in the 
cluster to run essentially nothing? 

> 0 vertex dags should succeed

> Currently 0 vertex dags fail because of the following code in DAGImpl
> {code}    if (numVertices == 0) {
>       addDiagnostic("No vertices for dag");
>       trySetTerminationCause(DAGTerminationCause.ZERO_VERTICES);
>       if (event != null) {
>         return DAGState.FAILED;
>       }
>       return finished(DAGState.FAILED);
>     }
> {code}
> IMO a 0 vertex DAG is a legitimate construct and should just pass. Similar to 
> a 0 task vertex. Its essentially a no-op operation.
