Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on YARN-5280:
-----------------------------------------------
Today, YARN (RMs / NMs) don't know whether the containers run JVMs or not - and
we should keep it that way.
We've been talking about Container universes / run-times (YARN-3853), the right
way to do this is to think of a JVM run-time that can wrap this functionality
only for JVM based containers.
Irrespective of that, I think a reasonable way to make progress on this is to
first experiment this functionality on the apps' side - say MapReduce and then
promote it into YARN. Besides the performance impact, there are a bunch of
scenarios that need to be looked at in the context of security-managers -
native code, kerberos integration etc.
Is it possible to run experiments with MapReduce alone first? We can actually
do this *without* any code changes - using distributed-cache to distribute
files and mapreduce.admin.map.child.java.opts /
mapreduce.admin.reduce.child.java.opts.

> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: nodemanager, yarn
> Affects Versions: 2.6.4
> Reporter: Greg Phillips
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: YARN-5280.patch, YARNContainerSandbox.pdf

>
> YARN applications have the ability to perform privileged actions which have
> the potential to add instability into the cluster. The Java Security Manager
> can be used to prevent users from running privileged actions while still
> allowing their core data processing use cases.
> Introduce a YARN flag which will allow a Hadoop administrator to enable the
> Java Security Manager for user code, while still providing complete
> permissions to core Hadoop libraries.
