RE: meaning of cryptic yarn nodemanager message: 
org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.containermanager.AuxServices

I answered one of my own questions:
        > Should I change the name be changed to "httpshuffle"  or not ?
When I do change it, I get this error message and nodeserver fails to start:

2013-11-13 12:39:06,878 FATAL 
org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.containermanager.AuxServices: Failed 
to initialize httpshuffle
java.lang.RuntimeException: No class defined for httpshuffle

So the correct name should be 'mapreduce_shuffle' ?  
Why then the complaint in the log that it is not 'httpshuffle' ?
What issues might be caused by the name being 'mapreduce_shuffle' ?

Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Good day - please could anyone explain the meaning of this message in 
yarn-${USER}-nodemanager-${HOST}.log:

"
2013-11-13 12:17:29,704 WARN 
org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.containermanager.AuxServices: The 
Auxilurary Service named 'mapreduce_shuffle' in the configuration is for class 
class org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ShuffleHandler which has a name of 
'httpshuffle'. Because these are not the same tools trying to send ServiceData 
and read Service Meta Data may have issues unless the refer to the name in the 
config.
"
Love the creative spelling ! ('Auxilurary' should be 'Auxiliary' ? 'unless the 
refer' should be 'unless they refer' ?)

I guess this is because of the setting in yarn-site.xml :

"
<property>
    <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
    <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
    <description>shuffle service that needs to be set for Map Reduce to run 
</description>  </property> "
that I installed according to the instructions at:  
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.2.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html

Why do these instructions specify this setting it may cause "issues" ? What 
sort of issues may be caused ? 
This sentence is nonsensical:
  " Because these are not the same tools trying to send ServiceData and read 
Service Meta Data may have issues unless the refer to the name in the config."
What are the "tools" being referred to here ?
What "may have issues" ?
What are the "issues" ? 
What  must refer to the name in the config ?
Should I change the name to "httpshuffle"  or not ?

Any ideas / suggestions gratefully received.

Regards,
Jason
