Thanks Arun! It is sometimes hard for me to figure out what is built into YARN vs what is done by convention. John

That is what is done by MR AM. hth, Arun On Sep 21, 2013, at 6:52 AM, John Lilley <john.lil...@redpoint.net<mailto:john.lil...@redpoint.net>> wrote: Thanks Harsh! The data-transport format is pretty easy, but how is the RPC typically set up? Does the AM open a listen port to accept the RPC from the tasks, and then pass the port/URI to the tasks when they are spawned as command-line or environment? john -----Original Message----- From: Harsh J [mailto:ha...@cloudera.com<http://cloudera.com>] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2013 7:47 AM To: <user@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user@hadoop.apache.org>> Subject: Re: Task status query Right now its MR specific (TaskUmbilicalProtocol) - YARN doesn't have any reusable items here yet, but there are easy to use RPC libs such as Avro and Thrift out there that make it easy to do such things once you define what you want in a schema/spec form.

In case of MR, for example, tasks talk to the AM and report their individual progress and counters back to it, via a specific protocol (over the network), giving the AM more data to compute an near-accurate global progress.

I would like to be able to ultimately relay information to the user like: 100 tasks are scheduled 10 tasks are complete 4 tasks are running and they are (4%, 10%, 50%, 70%) complete But, given that YARN tasks are simply executables, how can the AM even get at this information? Can the AM get access to stdout/stderr? Thanks John -- Harsh J -- Harsh J -- Arun C.
