Allen Wittenauer commented on YARN-2344:
----------------------------------------
Moving this to YARN.
We still need a way to pause the Resource Manager from accepting new
submissions.
> Provide a mechanism to pause the jobtracker

> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: resourcemanager
> Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala

> We've seen scenarios when we have needed to stop the namenode for a
> maintenance activity. In such scenarios, if the jobtracker (JT) continues to
> run, jobs would fail due to initialization or task failures (due to DFS). We
> could restart the JT enabling job recovery, during such scenarios. But
> restart has proved to be a very intrusive activity, particularly if the JT is
> not at fault itself and does not require a restart. The ask is for a
> admin-controlled feature to pause the JT which would take it to a state
> somewhat analogous to the safe mode of DFS.
