---------------------------------
[~shanyu] {quote}I forgot to mention that for Winbind/SSSD to work the
container needs to be domain joined to Active Directory, which doesn't work and
doesn't seem to be efficient.{quote}
I don't think this statement is true. Container doesn't need to join AD. User
credential can be setup using sssd socket to Linux host sssd cache, see:
https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.1.2/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/DockerContainers.html#SSSD
for setup instructions.
I can understand the idea of this feature to make sure there is only small set
of users to reuse to reduce overloading of user information from disjoined
system. However, this feature could be dangerous if the user has existing data
that can be accidentally accessed by future users. It tries to strip away some
of the fundamental security design like process owner and file owner in Linux
like system. The modification to LinuxContainerExecutor and
ResourceLocalizationService are not safe practices. The conflicting model will
make it hard to maintain Linux container executor.
I would suggest to write a separate container executor to accomplish your goal
instead of hacking LinuxContainerExecutor for this purpose.
> Allow using a pool of local users to run Yarn Secure Container in secure mode

> Key: YARN-9834
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-9834
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: nodemanager
> Affects Versions: 3.1.2
> Reporter: shanyu zhao
> Assignee: shanyu zhao
> Priority: Major
>
> Yarn Secure Container in secure mode allows separation of different user's
> local files and container processes running on the same node manager. This
> depends on an out of band service such as SSSD/Winbind to sync all domain
> users to local machine.
> Winbind user sync has lots of overhead, especially for large corporations.
> Also if running Yarn inside Kubernetes cluster (meaning node managers running
> inside Docker container), it doesn't make sense for each container to domain
> join with Active Directory and sync a whole copy of domain users.
> We should allow a new configuration to Yarn, such that we can pre-create a
> pool of users on each machine/Docker container. And at runtime, Yarn
> allocates a local user to the domain user that submits the application. When
> all containers of that user are finished and all files belonging to that user
> are deleted, we can release the allocation and allow other users to use the
> same local user to run their Yarn containers.
> h2. Design
> We propose to add these new configurations:
> {code:java}
> yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.secure-mode.use-local-user,
> defaults to false
> yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.secure-mode.local-user-prefix,
> defaults to "user"{code}
> By default this feature is turned off. If we enable it, with
> local-user-prefix set to "user", then we expect there are pre-created local
> users user0 - usern, where the total number of local users equals to:
> {code:java}
> yarn.nodemanager.resource.cpu-vcores {code}
> We can use an in-memory allocator to keep the domain user to local user
> mapping.
> Now when to add the mapping and when to remove it?
> In node manager, ApplicationImpl implements the state machine for a Yarn app
> life cycle, only if the app has at least 1 container running on that node
> manager. We can hook up the code to add the mapping during application
> initialization.
> For removing the mapping, we need to wait for 3 things:
> 1) All applications of the same user is completed;
> 2) All log handling of the applications (log aggregation or non-aggregated
> handling) is done;
> 3) All pending FileDeletionTask that use the user's identity is finished.
> Note that all operation to these reference counting should be synchronized
> operation.
> If all of our local users in the pool are allocated, we'll return
> "nonexistuser" as runas user, this will cause the container to fail to
> execute and Yarn will relaunch it in other nodes.
> h2. Limitations
> 1) This feature does not support PRIVATE visibility type of resource
> allocation. Because PRIVATE type of resources are potentially cached in the
> node manager for a very long time, supporting it will be a security problem
> that a user might be able to peek into previous user's PRIVATE resources. We
> can modify code to treat all PRIVATE type of resource as APPLICATION type.
> 2) It is recommended to enable DominantResourceCalculator so that no more
> than "cpu-vcores" number of concurrent containers running on a node manager:
> {code:java}
> yarn.scheduler.capacity.resource-calculator
> = org.apache.hadoop.yarn.util.resource.DominantResourceCalculator {code}
> 3) Currently this feature does not work with Yarn Node Manager recovery. This
> is because the mappings are kept in memory, it cannot be recovered after node
> manager restart.
