Jason Lowe commented on YARN-6125:
----------------------------------

I think it's not necessary to distinguish between message truncation and 
overall truncation.  We can simply tack on a header stating the diagnostics 
were truncated when reporting.  For example, "Application diagnostics too 
large, only showing the last N bytes:"  A potentially useful enhancement could 
be to track the total number of diagnostics bytes even though we're not keeping 
all those bytes around, e.g.: "App diagnostics too large, only showing last N 
bytes of T bytes total:"  We may have to do something similar anyway to know 
when the diagnostics were truncated.

> 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?
