Pramod Immaneni commented on APEXCORE-796: ------------------------------------------ Yes, this Jira does not require YARN independence but my goal is to support docker via a kubernetes port and add an abstraction in apex to be able to run on both cluster managers by having an independent layer and cluster-specific implementations, hence the reference to APEXCORE-724 in the comment. Agreed it is a substantial effort and I will propose a plan. It is possible to add support for docker in apex to run under YARN, by enhancing apex cli etc and using functionality like you mentioned at runtime, but I am not sure how much usage it will get. I think docker will be more used with a kubernetes runtime. > Docker based deployment > ----------------------- > > Key: APEXCORE-796 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-796 > Project: Apache Apex Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Thomas Weise > Priority: Major > Labels: roadmap > > Apex should support deployment using Docker as alternative to application > packages. Docker images provide a simple and standard way to package > dependencies and solve isolation from the host environment. This will be > particularly helpful when applications depend on native, non-JVM packages > like Python and R, that otherwise need to be installed separately. Docker > support will also be a step towards supporting other cluster managers like > Kubernetes, Mesos and Swarm. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
