Sandy Ryza commented on MAPREDUCE-5403:
---------------------------------------

I don't think yarn.resourcemanager.address should be an environment variable.  
I think there is a conceptual difference between a client knowing how to 
contact a service and a client knowing about details of the service's 
internals.  Do you disagree?

In an ideal world, I think should be able to point my application at a YARN 
cluster without thinking about where the YARN jars were installed.  I 
understand that for MR we will still not entirely have achieved this ideal, 
because the client still needs to know where the MR jars are. But the change 
would be a step in the right direction and help lay the groundwork for a 
solution by untangling the application from the framework.

> yarn.application.classpath is a confusing property because it is used by 
> MapReduce and not YARN, and MapReduce already has 
> mapreduce.application.classpath, which provides the same functionality.
