Shane Kumpf commented on YARN-4266:
-----------------------------------
Thanks, [~ebadger]! It sounds like you are making good progress.
{quote} To do this, I propose mounting /var/run/nscd so that the docker
container can lookup users via the host according to whatever method is defined
in nsswitch.conf on the host.{quote}
I believe YARN-5534 will be required for this. I'm not really a fan of hard
coding bind mounts like we've done for /sys/fs/cgroup if we can help it. Are
you aware of any security implications with this socket mounted read-only in
the container? Also, are there any clients that might be required to be
installed in the container depending on how nsswitch is configured?
Alternatively, why does MRAppMaster do the user lookup in this case? Is there a
way to remove that limitation? Are you finding other AM's have a similar issue?

> Docker provides a mechanism (the --user switch) that enables us to specify
> the user the container processes should run as. We use this mechanism today
> when launching docker containers . In non-secure mode, we run the docker
> container based on
> `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.nonsecure-mode.local-user` and in
> secure mode, as the submitting user. However, this mechanism breaks down with
> a large number of 'pre-created' images which don't necessarily have the users
> available within the image. Examples of such images include shared images
> that need to be used by multiple users. We need a way in which we can allow a
> pre-defined set of users to run containers based on existing images, without
> using the --user switch. There are some implications of disabling this user
> squashing that we'll need to work through : log aggregation, artifact
> deletion etc.,
