Sangjin Lee created YARN-5169:
---------------------------------
Summary: most of YARN events have timestamp of -1
Key: YARN-5169
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-5169
Project: Hadoop YARN
Issue Type: Bug
Components: yarn
Affects Versions: 2.7.2
Reporter: Sangjin Lee
Most of the YARN events (subclasses of {{AbstractEvent}}) have timestamp of -1.
{{AbstractEvent}} have two constructors, one that initializes the timestamp to
-1 and the other to the caller-provided value. But most events use the former
(thus timestamp of -1).
Some of the more common events, including {{ApplicationEvent}},
{{ContainerEvent}}, {{JobEvent}}, etc. do not set the timestamp.
The rationale for this behavior seems to be mentioned in {{AbstractEvent}}:
{code}
// use this if you DON'T care about the timestamp
public AbstractEvent(TYPE type) {
this.type = type;
// We're not generating a real timestamp here. It's too expensive.
timestamp = -1L;
}
{code}
This absence of the timestamp isn't really visible in many cases and therefore
may have gone unnoticed, but the timeline service exposes this problem very
visibly.
