If you see comments from Gour (of Apache Slider), that seems like the general direction: "All that would be expected is to migrate the app-packages to the agent-less version. Of course the Slider community will do the migration for the current app-packages in the Slider codebase.”
Whether this means taking an existing package and run it as is on the newer framework remains to be seen. One possible solution is to just support today’s Slider framework on newer YARN. That way if you have an existing app-package, it continues to run on the newer cluster, but for getting some of the newer functionality, you may have to move to the newer package. My personal take is that it will take a bit of effort to make all of this happen, but is a very important goal to support existing users and their applications.
