Varun Saxena commented on YARN-2902:
------------------------------------
I should say "This way localizer should quit quickly after attempting some
cleanup and NM can also attempt cleanup."
However we can also let localizer not do any cleanup at all and let NM delete
paths. That is also an option.
> Killing a container that is localizing can orphan resources in the
> DOWNLOADING state

> If a container is in the process of localizing when it is stopped/killed then
> resources are left in the DOWNLOADING state. If no other container comes
> along and requests these resources they linger around with no reference
> counts but aren't cleaned up during normal cache cleanup scans since it will
> never delete resources in the DOWNLOADING state even if their reference count
> is zero.
