Naganarasimha G R commented on YARN-4371: ----------------------------------------- Hi All, Sorry for jumping in late, bq. It's not very helpful to say "Application doesn't exist in RM." and not report which one(s) they are. Even i feel the same for this point and at least when i use kill -9 <non existant PID> it reports as {code} kill -9 9999 10000 bash: kill: (9999) - No such process bash: kill: (10000) - No such process {code} so would prefer to have the same behavior here too. bq. I think there's also an issue where the user can specify multiple arguments and the command will silently ignore their requests. ... Since we're no longer checking for a specific number of arguments, I think the user can throw in all sorts of other options that will be silently ignored, probably to the surprise of the user. I agree there is this possibility, but IMO it will be much user friendly to have space as delimiter than any other character like *","* and its similar to the unix kill command . Also to an extent we are taking care by checking {{if (args.length < 3)}}, Thoughts ? > "yarn application -kill" should take multiple application ids > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-4371 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4371 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Tsuyoshi Ozawa > Assignee: Sunil G > Attachments: 0001-YARN-4371.patch, 0002-YARN-4371.patch, > 0003-YARN-4371.patch > > > Currently we cannot pass multiple applications to "yarn application -kill" > command.
