Naganarasimha G R reassigned YARN-3367:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Naganarasimha G R
> Replace starting a separate thread for post entity with event loop in
> TimelineClient
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: YARN-3367
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3367
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: timelineserver
> Affects Versions: YARN-2928
> Reporter: Junping Du
> Assignee: Naganarasimha G R
>
> Since YARN-3039, we add loop in TimelineClient to wait for
> collectorServiceAddress ready before posting any entity. In consumer of
> TimelineClient (like AM), we are starting a new thread for each call to get
> rid of potential deadlock in main thread. This way has at least 3 major
> defects:
> 1. The consumer need some additional code to wrap a thread before calling
> putEntities() in TimelineClient.
> 2. It cost many thread resources which is unnecessary.
> 3. The sequence of events could be out of order because each posting
> operation thread get out of waiting loop randomly.
> We should have something like event loop in TimelineClient side,
> putEntities() only put related entities into a queue of entities and a
> separated thread handle to deliver entities in queue to collector via REST
> call.
