Jian He commented on YARN-5292:
-------------------------------
bq. Since if I understand correctly, for yarn native services, there is a need
to just stop a container (without losing the allocation) for a period of time.
Don't know if that can be modeled as a container PAUSE via some support from
the underlying ContainerExecutor/Runtime.
[~asuresh], [~hrsharma]. Makes sense to me..Having an API for pause/resume
would be useful for long running service.

> YARN-2877 introduced OPPORTUNISTIC containers, and YARN-5216 proposes to add
> capability to customize how OPPORTUNISTIC containers get preempted.
> In this JIRA we propose introducing a PAUSED container state.
> When a running container gets preempted, it enters the PAUSED state, where it
> remains until resources get freed up on the node then the preempted container
> can resume to the running state.
>
> One scenario where this capability is useful is work preservation. How
> preemption is done, and whether the container supports it, is implementation
> specific.
> For instance, if the container is a virtual machine, then preempt would pause
> the VM and resume would restore it back to the running state.
> If the container doesn't support preemption, then preempt would default to
> killing the container.
