Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-4284: ------------------------------------------ @Tucu: bq.Still, I would say this is a property to be use in development clusters. If this is only needed for development clusters, then we just use the global setting and make it very high (e.g. 3 days). bq. Or, in order to make it more production friendly there should be a MAX_TIME_TO_KEEP_FILES property in the NM and jobs can set any value up to that time. Then you pretty much have to have a limit on file-sizes, number of files etc. which leads exactly to MAPREDUCE-1100, something which we've been trying to avoid by durably storing logs in HDFS and not on the NM local disk. ---- To recap, if this is just for debugging, we can set the global limit very high and not bother with per-job limits. IAC, we have all task logs on HDFS - so I really don't see the need to reinvent MAPREDUCE-1100. ---- @Ahmed - Your proposal doesn't work because the NodeManager doesn't load jobConf of the container... this would require changes to ContainerManager protocol. > Allow setting yarn.nodemanager.delete.debug-delay-sec on a per-job basis > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4284 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4284 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Reporter: Ahmed Radwan > Assignee: Ahmed Radwan > > The yarn.nodemanager.delete.debug-delay-sec property is helpful in debugging > jobs (inspecting container logs/local dirs after the job finishes).
