    @zhzhan take a look at the JIRA where Marcelo posted some of his code. I'm 
also not clear what you and Zhijie are looking for; it seemed like there has 
been code and specific YARN issues on offer for a long time. In fact didn't you 
reuse some of what @vanzin posted? 
    
    But it looks like many of the YARN issues discussed there are resolved as 
of 2.6, except at least this one involving developer APIs. Maybe you can work 
on that? I can understand the argument that, hey, let's use non-public APIs and 
take the risk, but it might be a better use of time to just have it declared 
stable then. I'd rather not repeat the loop in 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1537 
    
    My hesitation is that there is already a lot of build complexity to support 
a bunch of Hadoop versions, and we'd have to have yet another type of build for 
YARN 2.6+ at least here, and if it changes again in 2.7, another one after 
that, just to support ATS, which is a nice-to-have but not critical thing. So I 
can sympathize with wanting to get this right, once.
    
    Is that the only issue? I mean, if that were stable, is this PR what we'd 
all kind of like to commit? or are we realistically waiting for YARN 2.7, 2.8 
before everyone's happy? in which case, yeah, I don't think a `[WIP]` PR makes 
sense. You can sure keep a branch / patch / design doc live in the JIRA. Even 
`[WIP]` PRs should be for those with reasonable expectation of going in soonish.
