>             Project: Hadoop YARN
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: nodemanager
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.2

> Yarn Secure Container in secure mode allows separation of different user's 
> local files and container processes running on the same node manager. This 
> depends on an out of band service such as SSSD/Winbind to sync all domain 
> users to local machine.
> SSSD/Winbind user sync has lots of overhead, especially for large 
> corporations. Also if running Yarn inside Kubernetes cluster (meaning node 
> managers running inside Docker container), it doesn't make sense for each 
> container to sync a whole copy of domain users.
> We should allow a new configuration to Yarn, such that we can pre-create a 
> pool of users on each machine/Docker container. And at runtime, Yarn 
> allocates a local user to the domain user that submits the application. When 
> all containers of that user and all files belonging to that user are deleted, 
> we can release the allocation and allow other users to use the same local 
> user to run their Yarn containers.
> We propose to add these new configurations:
> {code:java}
> yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.secure-mode.use-local-user, 
> defaults to false
> yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.secure-mode.local-user-prefix, 
> defaults to "user"{code}
> If we enable this feature, with local-user-prefix set to "user", then we 
> expect there are pre-created local users user0 - usern, where n equals to:
> {code:java}
> yarn.nodemanager.resource.cpu-vcores {code}
> We can use an in-memory allocator to keep the domain user to local user 
> mapping.
> Limitations:
> 1) This feature does not support PRIVATE type of resource allocation. Because 
> PRIVATE type of resources are potentially cached in the node manager for a 
> very long time, supporting it will be a security problem that a user might be 
> able to peek into previous user's PRIVATE resources. We can modify code to 
> treat all PRIVATE type of resource as APPLICATION.
> 2) It is recommended to enable DominantResourceCalculator so that no more 
> than "cpu-vcores" number of concurrent containers running on a node manager:
> {code:java}
> yarn.scheduler.capacity.resource-calculator
> = org.apache.hadoop.yarn.util.resource.DominantResourceCalculator {code}
> 3) Currently this feature does not work with Yarn Node Manager recovery. We 
> may add recovery support in the future when we hook up with the right calls 
> in the recovery flow.
