Naganarasimha G R commented on YARN-3390: ----------------------------------------- Hi [~zjshen], [~djp] & [~sjlee0] {{TimelineCollector.getTimelineEntityContext()}} interface will not be suitable for the RMTimelineCollector as it will be posting/putting entities for multiple apps, appattempts and containers. Hence was initially planning to modify this method to take a {{TimelineEntity.Identifier}} as a parameter and @ RMTimelineCollector planning to hold a map of {{TimelineEntity.Identifier to AppId}} and another Map to hold {{AppId to TimelineEntityContext}} (required as context is created per app when appCreatedEvent occurs). But one more conflict which i can see is AppLevelTimelineCollector is specific for a app, so invoking {{getTimelineEntityContext}} in {{getTimelineEntityContext(TimelineEntities ,Ugi)}} is fine because all the entities which are posted can be assumed to have same context as they belong to a single app but in a general case (like RMTimelineCollector) its not guaranteed that all TimelineEntities belong to same app(i.e. TimelineEntities might have diff context). so would it be better to change the interface of {{TimelineCollector.putEntities)}} to accept the {{TimelineEntityContext}} as parameter and remove {{TimelineCollector.getTimelineEntityContext()}} method from interface ? please share your opinion... > RMTimelineCollector should have the context info of each app > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: YARN-3390 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3390 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: timelineserver > Reporter: Zhijie Shen > Assignee: Zhijie Shen > > RMTimelineCollector should have the context info of each app whose entity > has been put -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
