             Summary: Add an Aarch64 CI for YARN
                 Key: YARN-9897
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-9897
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build, test
            Reporter: Zhenyu Zheng


As YARN is the resource manager of Hadoop and there are large number of other 
software that also uses YARN for resource management. The capability of running 
YARN on platforms with different architecture and managing hardware resources 
with different architecture could be very important and useful.

Aarch64(ARM) architecture is currently the dominate architecture in small 
devices like phone, IOT devices, security cameras, drones etc. With the 
increasing compuiting capability and the increasing connection speed like 5G 
network, there could be greate posibility and opportunity for world chaging 
inovations and new market if we can managing and make use of those devices as 
well.

Currently, all YARN CIs are based on x86 architecture and we have been 
performing tests on Aarch64 and proposing possible solutions for problems we 
have meet, like:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16614
we have done all YARN tests and it turns out there are only a few problems, and 
we can provide possible solutions for discussion.

We want to propose to add an Aarch64 CI for YARN to promote the support for 
YARN on Aarch64 platforms.
