Siddharth Seth commented on YARN-4207: -------------------------------------- [~rhaase] - thanks for taking this up. Along with the change to FinalApplicationStatus, a change is also required to the proto definition (yarn_protos.proto). There'll be a set of converter methods which translate between the proto and FinalApplicationStatus which will also need to be changed. Other than that, I believe adding this additional value is a safe change. > Add a non-judgemental YARN app completion status > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: YARN-4207 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4207 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin > Labels: trivial > Attachments: YARN-4207.patch > > > For certain applications, it doesn't make sense to have SUCCEEDED or FAILED > end state. For example, Tez sessions may include multiple DAGs, some of which > have succeeded and some have failed; there's no clear status for the session > both logically and from user perspective (users are confused either way). > There needs to be a status not implying success or failure, such as > "done"/"ended"/"finished". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
