Hitesh Shah commented on YARN-1390:
-----------------------------------
To add to the above comment, from a YARN point of view, an application is just
an application. It has a defined type which can be used eventually to apply
some logic or enforce rules ( for example, which history server to redirect to
or which history plugin to apply ). The same application i.e same framework or
same type of application when used in different contexts by definition should
not have different types.
> Provide a way to capture source of an application to be queried through REST
> or Java Client APIs

> Key: YARN-1390
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1390
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: api
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Karthik Kambatla
> Assignee: Karthik Kambatla
>
> In addition to other fields like application-type (added in YARN-563), it is
> useful to have an applicationSource field to track the source of an
> application. The application source can be useful in (1) fetching only those
> applications a user is interested in, (2) potentially adding source-specific
> optimizations in the future.
> Examples of sources are: User-defined project names, Pig, Hive, Oozie, Sqoop
> etc.
