Daniel Templeton commented on YARN-5658:
----------------------------------------

YARN-2261 isn't itself sufficient.  It provides the hook to run arbitrary code, 
but unless all those AMs are extended to use YARN-2261 to offer a mechanism to 
delete a directory, it doesn't help me here.

Using YARN-2261 here seems like overkill.  I want to delete a directory in 
HDFS, so have to allocate a container and run a script to launch another JVM to 
talk to HDFS to delete the directory.

> YARN should have a hook to delete a path from HDFS when an application ends

> There are many cases when a client uploads data to HDFS and then needs to 
> subsequently clean it up, such as with the distributed cache.  It would be 
> helpful if YARN would do that cleanup automatically on job completion.
> The hook could be generic to an URI supported by {{FileSystem}}.
