Ming Ma updated YARN-445:
-------------------------
Attachment: YARN-445-signal-container-via-rm.patch
For discussion purpose, here is the patch for reference based on early version
of hadoop 2. More work is needed to make it applicable to trunk, incorporate
the suggestions mentioned above, etc.
> Ability to signal containers

> It would be nice if an ApplicationMaster could send signals to contaniers
> such as SIGQUIT, SIGUSR1, etc.
> For example, in order to replicate the jstack-on-task-timeout feature
> implemented by MAPREDUCE-1119 in Hadoop 0.21 the NodeManager needs an
> interface for sending SIGQUIT to a container. For that specific feature we
> could implement it as an additional field in the StopContainerRequest.
> However that would not address other potential features like the ability for
> an AM to trigger jstacks on arbitrary tasks *without* killing them. The
> latter feature would be a very useful debugging tool for users who do not
> have shell access to the nodes.
