Sandy Ryza updated YARN-366:
----------------------------
Attachment: YARN-366-2.patch
> Add a tracing async dispatcher to simplify debugging
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: YARN-366
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-366
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: nodemanager, resourcemanager
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha

>
> Exceptions thrown in YARN/MR code with asynchronous event handling do not
> contain informative stack traces, as all handle() methods sit directly under
> the dispatcher thread's loop.
> This makes errors very difficult to debug for those who are not intimately
> familiar with the code, as it is difficult to see which chain of events
> caused a particular outcome.
> I propose adding an AsyncDispatcher that instruments events with tracing
> information. Whenever an event is dispatched during the handling of another
> event, the dispatcher would annotate that event with a pointer to its parent.
> When the dispatcher catches an exception, it could reconstruct a "stack"
> trace of the chain of events that led to it, and be able to log something
> informative.
> This would be an experimental feature, off by default, unless extensive
> testing showed that it did not have a significant performance impact.
