Arun Suresh updated YARN-5292:
------------------------------
    Description: 
YARN-2877 introduced OPPORTUNISTIC containers, and YARN-5216 proposes to add 
capability to customize how OPPORTUNISTIC containers get preempted.

In this JIRA we propose introducing a PAUSED container state.
When a running container gets preempted, it enters the PAUSED state, where it 
remains until resources get freed up on the node then the preempted container 
can resume to the running state.
 
One scenario where this capability is useful is work preservation. How 
preemption is done, and whether the container supports it, is implementation 
specific.

For instance, if the container is a virtual machine, then preempt would pause 
the VM and resume would restore it back to the running state.
If the container doesn't support preemption, then preempt would default to 
killing the container.
