Tao Yang updated YARN-5683:
---------------------------
    Description: 
h3.  Introduction
* Some applications of various frameworks (Flink, Spark and MapReduce etc) 
using local storage (checkpoint, shuffle etc) might require high IO 
performance. It's useful to allocate local directories to high performance 
storage media for these applications on heterogeneous clusters.
* YARN does not distinguish different storage types and hence applications 
cannot selectively use storage media with different performance 
characteristics. Adding awareness of storage media can allow YARN to make 
better decisions about the placement of local directories.

h3.  Approach
* NodeManager will distinguish storage types for local directories.
** yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs and yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs configuration 
should allow the cluster administrator to optionally specify the storage type 
for each local directories. Example: 
[SSD]/disk1/nm-local-dir,/disk2/nm-local-dir,/disk3/nm-local-dir (equals to 
[SSD]/disk1/nm-local-dir,[DISK]/disk2/nm-local-dir,[DISK]/disk3/nm-local-dir)
** StorageType defines DISK/SSD storage types and takes DISK as the default 
storage type. 
** StorageLocation separates storage type and directory path, used by 
LocalDirAllocator to aware the types of local dirs, the default storage type is 
DISK.
** getLocalPathForWrite method of LocalDirAllcator will prefer to choose the 
local directory of the specified storage type, and will fallback to not care 
storage type if the requirement can not be satisfied.
** Support for container related local/log directories by ContainerLaunch. All 
application frameworks can set the environment variables (LOCAL_STORAGE_TYPE 
and LOG_STORAGE_TYPE) to specified the desired storage type of local/log 
directories.
* Allow specified storage type for various frameworks (Take MapReduce as an 
example)
** Add new configurations should allow application administrator to optionally 
specify the storage type of local/log directories. (MapReduce add 
configurations: mapreduce.job.local-storage-type and 
mapreduce.job.log-storage-type)
** Support for container work directories. Set the environment variables 
includes LOCAL_STORAGE_TYPE and LOG_STORAGE_TYPE according to configurations 
above for ContainerLaunchContext and ApplicationSubmissionContext. (MapReduce 
should update YARNRunner and TaskAttemptImpl)
** Add storage type prefix for request path to support for other local 
directories of frameworks (such as shuffle directories for MapReduce). 
(MapReduce should update YarnOutputFiles, MROutputFiles and YarnChild to 
support for output/work directories)
** Flow diagram for MapReduce framework

h3.  Further Discussion
* The requirement of storage type for local/log directories may not be 
satisfied on heterogeneous clusters. To achieve global optimum, scheduler 
should aware and manage disk resources. 
[YARN-2139|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2139] is close to that 
but seems not support multiple storage types, maybe we should do even more to 
aware the storage type of disk resource?
* Node labels or node constraints 
([YARN-3409|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3409]) can also make a 
higher chance to satisfy the requirement of specified storage type.
* Fallback strategy still needs to be concerned. Certain applications might not 
work well when the requirement of storage type is not satisfied. When none of 
desired storage type disk are available, should container launching be failed? 
let AM handle?

This feature has been used for half a year to meet the needs of some 
applications on Alibaba search clusters.
Please feel free to give your suggestions and opinions.
