Good, I was hoping that would be the case. But what are the mechanics of it? Do I just add another entry? And what exactly is "madreduce.shuffle"? A scoped class name? Or a key string into some map elsewhere?
e.g. like: <property> <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name> <value>mapreduce.shuffle</value> </property> <property> <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name> <value>myauxserviceclassname</value> </property> Concerning auxiliary services -- do they communicate with NodeManager via RPC? Is there an interface to implement? How are they opened and closed with NodeManager?

You can implement, pass in and use your own AuxService. It needs to be on the NodeManager CLASSPATH to run (and NM has to be restarted to apply).
