Keith,

 Happy to help.

 When you mean .23 API, do you mean how to write your own applications on top 
of YARN?

 If so, you can start with hadoop-2 release docs:
 
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r2.0.0-alpha/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/WritingYarnApplications.html

 There is also an example application (DistributedShell) you can look at for a 
simpler usage of YARN apis:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/branches/branch-2/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-applications/hadoop-yarn-applications-distributedshell/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/yarn/applications/distributedshell/

 As you are probably aware, MapReduce applications itself don't need to change 
when you move to using hadoop-2.

thanks,
Arun
