Hi Robert, I also encourage you to check out https://github.com/linkedin/TonY
(TensorFlow on YARN) which is a platform built for this purpose.

Subject: Re: Run Distributed TensorFlow on YARN
Hi Robert
{Submarine} project helps to run Distributed Tensorflow on top of YARN with
ease. YARN-8220 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-8220> was an
early attempt to do the same with some scripts etc, but Submarine will help
to avoid all such custom scripts etc, and rather can simply run tensorflow
like a distributed shell command line by using Submarine jar. Pls refer
below doc for deep dive.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/199J4pB3blqgV9SCNvBbTqkEoQdjoyGMjESV4MktCo0k/edit#heading=h.vkxp9edl11m7
Submarine will be released as part of Hadoop 3.2.0 release which will be
out very soon officially (in coming weeks). you are free to use hadoop
trunk to run same if you need very soon.
For now you can refer submarine docs under hadoop repo (trunk)
under
hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-applications/hadoop-yarn-submarine/src/site/markdown/
or(
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/tree/trunk/hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-applications/hadoop-yarn-submarine/src/site/markdown
)
Thanks
Sunil
