Ram Venkatesh created YARN-4842: ----------------------------------- Summary: yarn logs command should not require the appOwner argument Key: YARN-4842 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4842 Project: Hadoop YARN Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Ram Venkatesh
The yarn logs command is among the most common ways to troubleshoot yarn app failures, especially by an admin. Currently if you run the command as a user different from the job owner, the command will fail with a subtle message that it could not find the app under the running user's name. This can be confusing especially to new admins. We can figure out the job owner from the app report returned by the RM or the AHS, or, by looking for the app directory using a glob pattern, so in most cases this error can be avoided. Question - are there scenarios where users will still need to specify the -appOwner option? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
