Chuan Liu commented on YARN-445:
--------------------------------
bq.Chuan, the main proposal here is regarding which components need to be
involved in container signal support. Instead of having AM ask NM to signal the
container, the proposal is to have client ask RM which then route the request
to NM; AM isn't in the picture anymore.
[~mingma], thanks for the explanation! I did not realize the old patch was
using the AM-NM ContainerManager proto. I think this is indeed a better
approach.

> 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.
