-----------------------------------------------------------

[~ebadger] They are two separate problems.  A lot of conversation here belongs 
to YARN-7446.  This issue is to tackle the problem that we have a implicit 
privilege escalation security hole in the default shipped configuration when 
the following condition is met:

# Privileged container is enabled.
# Deploy docker container with user mapping to a different uid:gid than host 
OS, or using a numeric username to launch app.
# Data output from container is written as someone else or with root group 
ownership.

In summary, to prevent privileges escalation, we should always pass in primary 
group to improve security.

> In YARN-4266, the recommendation was to use -u [uid]:[gid] numeric values to 
> enforce user and group for the running user.  In YARN-6623, this translated 
> to --user=test --group-add=group1.  The code no longer enforce group 
> correctly for launched process.  
> In addition, the implementation in YARN-6623 requires the user and group 
> information to exist in container to translate username and group to uid/gid. 
>  For users on LDAP, there is no good way to populate container with user and 
> group information.
