My cluster 2.6.0 has app ids like: application_1434047822925_0001 The UI sorts by this id as a string, which means that once the ids go to application_1434047822925_9999 and beyond to application_1434047822925_10000, the newest jobs are not at the top of the list.
I found https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-159 which was implemented to sort newest first, but in my case it doesn't work. Is there a setting to fix this, or can I change the base pattern of the appids to have 8 digits instead of 4? Thanks for any pointers, Stephen Armstrong
