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.

> Right now we only show a part of available timeline entity data in the new 
> YARN UI. However, some data (especially library specific data) are not 
> possible to be queried out by the web UI. It will be appealing for the UI to 
> provide an "entity browser" for each YARN application. Actually, simply 
> dumping out available timeline entities (with proper pagination, of course) 
> would be pretty helpful for UI users. 
> On timeline side, we're not far away from this goal. Right now I believe the 
> only thing missing is to list all available entity types within one 
> application. 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.
