Li Lu commented on YARN-5739: ----------------------------- Thanks [~vrushalic]! Yes. One concern we had was the scan may need to go through every record in an app, which is potentially a big scan. However, the number of different entity types may be limited. So we can construct a few scans that "jump" in different entity types. I don't think we need to provide a separate filter since this may introduce some overhead in deployments. > Provide timeline reader API to list available timeline entity types for one > application > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-5739 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-5739 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: timelinereader > Reporter: Li Lu > Assignee: Li Lu > > Right now we only show a part of available timeline entity data in the new > YARN UI.

The challenge here is that we're not storing this data for each > application, but given this kind of call is relatively rare (compare to > writes and updates) we can perform some scanning during the read time. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yarn-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: yarn-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
