Update:
I’ve chatted with Andrew offline, we’ll proceed with merging 
yarn-native-services into trunk for beta.
We’ll advertise this feature as “alpha"
Currently, we have completed all the jiras for this merge - I’ve also moved out 
the subtasks that are not blocking this merge.

I’ve created YARN-7127 to run the entire patch against trunk, once that goes 
green, I plan to start a formal vote.

Thanks,
Jian

Thanks Andrew for the comments. Answers below:

- There are no new APIs added in YARN/Hadoop core. In fact, all the new code 
are running outside of existing system and they are optional and require users 
to explicitly opt in. The new system’s own rest API is not stable and will be 
evolving.

Great! That adds a lot more confidence that this is safe to merge.

Are these new APIs listed in user documentation, and described as unstable?

- We have been running/testing a version of the entire system internally for 
quite a while.

Do you mind elaborating on the level of testing? Number of nodes, types of 
applications, production or test workload, etc. It'd help us build confidence.

- I’d like to see this in hadoop3-beta1. Of course, we’ll take responsibility 
of moving fast and not block the potential timeline.

Few more questions:

How should we advertise this feature in the release? Since the APIs are 
unstable, I'd propose calling it "alpha" in the release notes, like we do the 
TSv2.

Could you move out subtasks from YARN-5079 that are not blocking the merge? 
This would make it easier to understand what's remaining.

Thanks,
Andrew
