Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on YARN-3813:
-----------------------------------------------
A few years ago when this came up, I recommended doing this on top of YARN. But
I've seen this enough in the wild to yield now.
It's a useful feature to come out of the box in YARN. Small enough, so I think
we should go ahead with the implementation - not a lot of design dimensions.
> Support Application timeout feature in YARN.
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: YARN-3813
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3813
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: scheduler
> Reporter: nijel
> Attachments: YARN Application Timeout .pdf
>
>
> It will be useful to support Application Timeout in YARN. Some use cases are
> not worried about the output of the applications if the application is not
> completed in a specific time.
> *Background:*
> The requirement is to show the CDR statistics of last few minutes, say for
> every 5 minutes. The same Job will run continuously with different dataset.
> So one job will be started in every 5 minutes. The estimate time for this
> task is 2 minutes or lesser time.
> If the application is not completing in the given time the output is not
> useful.
> *Proposal*
> So idea is to support application timeout, with which timeout parameter is
> given while submitting the job.
> Here, user is expecting to finish (complete or kill) the application in the
> given time.
> One option for us is to move this logic to Application client (who submit the
> job).
> But it will be nice if it can be generic logic and can make more robust.
> Kindly provide your suggestions/opinion on this feature. If it sounds good, i
> will update the design doc and prototype patch
