@tgravescs FWIW I think something like this is the case, yes. The change
happened in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-396 which occurred for
the first(?) YARN TLP release with Hadoop 2.1. And CDH 4.4 was the first
release I see that picked up this change. I assume it was useful/necessary to
float this 'alpha' API ahead.
I also would have thought it's possible the `yarn` profile works with this
release, but I do not know. Just making sure that has been tried?
Otherwise yeah it looks like a question of supporting another intermediate
flavor of YARN here since it did change in breaking ways several times between
0.23.x and 2.2
