Zhijie Shen commented on YARN-2301: ----------------------------------- bq. Issue1 : As i understand this option should be in addition to yarn container -list <Application Attempt ID>, As its CLI we can't have polymorphic parameters, How about having -list only, and then parsing whether the given id is app id or app attempt id? bq. Issue2 : As Zhijie Shen pointed out we need to take care for containers from Timeline server flow also. For this i would suggest few options Option 2 sounds more attractive to me if it doesn't introduce too much complexity. >[~jianhe], I don't tracking the recent scheduler changes. Is it able to show >the containers of previous app attempt, or the finished containers of the >current app attempt? Previously, the container is removed from the scheduler >if it is finished. If so, -all can only work for the application in the timeline server but not the running app in RM. > Improve yarn container command > ------------------------------ > > Key: YARN-2301 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2301 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jian He > Assignee: Naganarasimha G R > Labels: usability > > While running yarn container -list <Application Attempt ID> command, some > observations: > 1) the scheme (e.g. http/https ) before LOG-URL is missing > 2) the start-time is printed as milli seconds (e.g. 1405540544844). Better to > print as time format. > 3) finish-time is 0 if container is not yet finished. May be "N/A" > 4) May have an option to run as yarn container -list <appId> OR yarn > application -list-containers <appId> also. > As attempt Id is not shown on console, this is easier for user to just copy > the appId and run it, may also be useful for container-preserving AM > restart. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
