 YARN-1972 introduces a Secure Windows Container Executor. However this 
 executor requires the process launching the container to be LocalSystem or a 
 member of the a local Administrators group. Since the process in question is 
 the NodeManager, the requirement translates to the entire NM to run as a 
 privileged account, a very large surface area to review and protect.
 This proposal is to move the privileged operations into a dedicated NT 
 service. The NM can run as a low privilege account and communicate with the 
 privileged NT service when it needs to launch a container. This would reduce 
 the surface exposed to the high privileges. 
 There has to exist a secure, authenticated and authorized channel of 
 communication between the NM and the privileged NT service. Possible 
 alternatives are a new TCP endpoint, Java RPC etc. My proposal though would 
 be to use Windows LPC (Local Procedure Calls), which is a Windows platform 
 specific inter-process communication channel that satisfies all requirements 
 and is easy to deploy. The privileged NT service would register and listen on 
 an LPC port (NtCreatePort, NtListenPort). The NM would use JNI to interop 
 with libwinutils which would host the LPC client code. The client would 
 connect to the LPC port (NtConnectPort) and send a message requesting a 
 container launch (NtRequestWaitReplyPort). LPC provides authentication and 
 the privileged NT service can use authorization API (AuthZ) to validate the 
 caller.

 YARN-1972 introduces a Secure Windows Container Executor. However this 
 executor requires the process launching the container to be LocalSystem or a 
 member of the a local Administrators group. Since the process in question is 
 the NodeManager, the requirement translates to the entire NM to run as a 
 privileged account, a very large surface area to review and protect.
 This proposal is to move the privileged operations into a dedicated NT 
 service. The NM can run as a low privilege account and communicate with the 
 privileged NT service when it needs to launch a container. This would reduce 
 the surface exposed to the high privileges. 
 There has to exist a secure, authenticated and authorized channel of 
 communication between the NM and the privileged NT service. Possible 
 alternatives are a new TCP endpoint, Java RPC etc. My proposal though would 
 be to use Windows LPC (Local Procedure Calls), which is a Windows platform 
 specific inter-process communication channel that satisfies all requirements 
 and is easy to deploy. The privileged NT service would register and listen on 
 an LPC port (NtCreatePort, NtListenPort). The NM would use JNI to interop 
 with libwinutils which would host the LPC client code. The client would 
 connect to the LPC port (NtConnectPort) and send a message requesting a 
 container launch (NtRequestWaitReplyPort). LPC provides authentication and 
 the privileged NT service can use authorization API (AuthZ) to validate the 
 caller.

 YARN-1972 introduces a Secure Windows Container Executor. However this 
 executor requires a the process launching the container to be LocalSystem or 
 a member of the a local Administrators group. Since the process in question 
 is the NodeManager, the requirement translates to the entire NM to run as a 
 privileged account, a very large surface area to review and protect.
 This proposal is to move the privileged operations into a dedicated NT 
 service. The NM can run as a low privilege account and communicate with the 
 privileged NT service when it needs to launch a container. This would reduce 
 the surface exposed to the high privileges. 
 There has to exist a secure, authenticated and authorized channel of 
 communication between the NM and the privileged NT service. Possible 
 alternatives are a new TCP endpoint, Java RPC etc. My proposal though would 
 be to use Windows LPC (Local Procedure Calls), which is a Windows platform 
 specific inter-process communication channel that satisfies all requirements 
 and is easy to deploy. The privileged NT service would register and listen on 
 an LPC port (NtCreatePort, NtListenPort). The NM would use JNI to interop 
 with libwinutils which would host the LPC client code. The client would 
 connect to the LPC port (NtConnectPort) and send a message requesting a 
 container launch (NtRequestWaitReplyPort). LPC provides authentication and 
 the privileged NT service can use authorization API (AuthZ) to validate the 
 caller.

This fixes YARN-2553 issues around KillTask. Also elevated chmod was not 
implemented (D'oh!) and the WSCE dir perms was wrong (0710 inherited from DCE, 
needs to be 0750 similar to LCE).

I will not upload trunk.7.patch given that for the moment Jenkins cannot handle 
the CRLF mismatch in .vcxproj and .sln files. I'm following up on that issue 
with HW engineers.

 YARN-1972 introduces a Secure Windows Container Executor. However this 
 executor requires a the process launching the container to be LocalSystem or 
 a member of the a local Administrators group. Since the process in question 
 is the NodeManager, the requirement translates to the entire NM to run as a 
 privileged account, a very large surface area to review and protect.
 This proposal is to move the privileged operations into a dedicated NT 
 service. The NM can run as a low privilege account and communicate with the 
 privileged NT service when it needs to launch a container. This would reduce 
 the surface exposed to the high privileges. 
 There has to exist a secure, authenticated and authorized channel of 
 communication between the NM and the privileged NT service. Possible 
 alternatives are a new TCP endpoint, Java RPC etc. My proposal though would 
 be to use Windows LPC (Local Procedure Calls), which is a Windows platform 
 specific inter-process communication channel that satisfies all requirements 
 and is easy to deploy. The privileged NT service would register and listen on 
 an LPC port (NtCreatePort, NtListenPort). The NM would use JNI to interop 
 with libwinutils which would host the LPC client code. The client would 
 connect to the LPC port (NtConnectPort) and send a message requesting a 
 container launch (NtRequestWaitReplyPort). LPC provides authentication and 
 the privileged NT service can use authorization API (AuthZ) to validate the 
 caller.

Attachment: YARN-2198.3.patch

This 3.patch addresses the code review feedback. It also adds the separate 
etc/hadoop/wsce-site.xml  configuration for winutils (the location and file 
name is configured from hadoop-common's pom.xml). While at it I fixed 
winutils/libwinutils to use 'target/winutils' as intermediate build path and I 
removed the hardcoded '../../../target/bin' output path and such and use 
instead msbuild params passed from pom.xml.

Attachment: YARN-2198.separation.patch

This patch contains the separation of winutils into a separate wsce native 
project (1 dll + 1 exe) under yarn-servers-nodemanager project. I'm uploading 
this for safekeeping, but I do not plan to pursue this separation on YARN-2198 
any further. I will open a separate JIRA asking to move all nodemanager related 
functionality of winutils into a yarn-servers-nodemanager project
