---------------------------
Summary: Support Application timeout feature in YARN.
Key: YARN-3813
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3813
Project: Hadoop YARN
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: nijel
Fix For: 2.8.0
It will be useful to support Application Timeout in YARN. Some use cases are
not worried about the output of the applications if the application is not
completed in a specific time.
*Background:*
The requirement is to show the CDR statistics of last few minutes, say for
every 5 minutes. The same Job will run continuously with different dataset.
So one job will be started in every 5 minutes. The estimate time for this task
is 2 minutes or lesser time.
If the application is not completing in the given time the output is not useful.
*Proposal*
So idea is to support application timeout, with which timeout parameter is
given while submitting the job.
Here, user is expecting to finish (complete or kill) the application in the
given time.
One option for us is to move this logic to Application client (who submit the
job).
But it will be nice if it can be generic logic and can make more robust.
Kindly provide your suggestions/opinion on this feature. If it sounds good, i
will update the design doc and prototype patch
