             Summary: ConverterUtils should not be Private
                 Key: YARN-1942
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1942
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: api
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Thomas Graves


ConverterUtils has a bunch of functions that are useful to application masters. 
  It should either be made public or we make some of the utilities in it public 
or we provide other external apis for application masters to use.  Note that 
distributedshell and MR are both using these interfaces. 

For instance the main use case I see right now is for getting the application 
attempt id within the appmaster:
String containerIdStr =
          System.getenv(Environment.CONTAINER_ID.name());
ConverterUtils.toContainerId

ContainerId containerId = ConverterUtils.toContainerId(containerIdStr);
      ApplicationAttemptId applicationAttemptId =
          containerId.getApplicationAttemptId();

I don't see any other way for the application master to get this information.  
If there is please let me know.
