             Summary: Remove XML excludes file format
                 Key: YARN-7162
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-7162
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: graceful
    Affects Versions: 2.9.0, 3.0.0-beta1
            Reporter: Robert Kanter
            Assignee: Robert Kanter
            Priority: Blocker


YARN-5536 aims to replace the XML format for the excludes file with a JSON 
format.  However, it looks like we won't have time for that for Hadoop 3 Beta 
1.  The concern is that if we release it as-is, we'll now have to support the 
XML format as-is for all of Hadoop 3.x, which we're either planning on 
removing, or rewriting using a pluggable framework.

 proposed two quick solutions to prevent this compat issue.  In this JIRA, 
we're going to remove the XML format.  If we later want to add it back in, 
YARN-5536 can add it back, rewriting it to be in the pluggable framework.
