-----------------------------------

             Summary: hadoop-yarn-server-nodemanager's use of Linux Cgroups is 
non-portable
                 Key: YARN-3718
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3718
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: nodemanager
    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
         Environment: BSD OSX Solaris Windows Linux
            Reporter: Alan Burlison

 makes use of the Linux-only Cgroups feature 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups) when Hadoop is built on Linux, but there 
is no corresponding functionality for non-Linux platforms.

Other platforms provide similar functionality, e.g. Solaris has an extensive 
range of resource management features 
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1460/index.html). Work is needed 
to abstract the resource management features of Yarn so that the same 
facilities for resource management can be provided on all platforms that 
provide the requisite functionality,
