Jian Fang commented on YARN-1039:
---------------------------------

Thanks Carlo, the notion of duration does make sense in certain scenarios. But 
the actual duration parameter in a running cluster is probably very difficult 
to measure if not impossible. For example, the duration could be affected by 
cluster size, workload, retry logic, scheduling algorithm, network and IO 
contention and so on. 

> Add parameter for YARN resource requests to indicate "long lived"

> A container request could support a new parameter "long-lived". This could be 
> used by a scheduler that would know not to host the service on a transient 
> (cloud: spot priced) node.
> Schedulers could also decide whether or not to allocate multiple long-lived 
> containers on the same node
