             Summary: Zero length files in container log output haven't got a 
header
                 Key: YARN-9808
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-9808
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: log-aggregation, yarn
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Adam Antal


Using the Yarn logs CLI for containers that have zero length files produces 
output similar to this:
{noformat}

End of LogType:stderr
***********************************************************************


End of LogType:prelaunch.err
******************************************************************************

Container: container_e25_1567431105510_0001_01_000002 on host-1
LogAggregationType: AGGREGATED
=======================================================================================================
LogType:container.log
LogLastModifiedTime:Mon Sep 02 06:34:48 -0700 2019
LogLength:5442
LogContents:
...
...
{noformat}

Note that stderr and prelaunch.err are both zero length files. Though the 
output is not misleading, the header is missing.

I suggest to add the header for zero length files as well, primarily for the 
following reasons:
- for applications having multiple files with the same name you may want to 
distinguish them by host - if many of those are of zero length, you can not 
extract this information from here. Note that this is a common case for stderr 
and prelaunch.err.
- you may want to see the modification time (which corresponds to the creation 
time of the zero length file)
- would explicitly display the "LogLength:0" line, which would avoid any 
confusion from end user side.
