             Summary: The application attempt's diagnostic message should have 
a maximum size
                 Key: YARN-6125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6125
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: resourcemanager
    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
            Reporter: Daniel Templeton
            Assignee: Daniel Templeton
            Priority: Critical


We've found through experience that the diagnostic message can grow unbounded.  
I've seen attempts that have diagnostic messages over 1MB.  Since the message 
is stored in the state store, it's a bad idea to allow the message to grow 
unbounded.  Instead, there should be a property that sets a maximum size on the 
message.

I suspect that some of the ZK state store issues we've seen in the past were 
due to the size of the diagnostic messages and not to the size of the 
classpath, as is the current prevailing opinion.

An open question is how best to prune the message once it grows too large.  
Should we
# truncate the tail,
# truncate the head,
# truncate the middle,
# add another property to make the behavior selectable, or
# none of the above?
