Jian He commented on YARN-5658:
-------------------------------
[~templedf], not just HDFS, allowing deleting a path from ZK is also a required
use-case for yarn-service-registry, so the implementation should to be
somewhat generic.
I think an option to clean a path is useful. One approach in my mind is to
leverage the getApplicationsToCleanup signal sent in the node heartbeat when
the application finally completes, after which the NM where AM container ran
could do the post cleanup. The difference from YARN-2261 is that instead of
running in a separate container, it could be run from NodeManager. And this
approach does not require significant code change in application. YARN-2261
could be used for more advanced use-cases which AM requires. Problem with this
approach is that if the NM crashes, the files may not get cleanup, even
YARN-2261 has the same problem. For simplicity, may be we can allow this to
occur and warn the user in the UI that the clean up is not done successfully
and ask user do it manually. thoughts?

> There are many cases when a client uploads data to HDFS and then needs to
> subsequently clean it up, such as with the distributed cache. It would be
> helpful if YARN would do that cleanup automatically on job completion.
> The hook could be generic to an URI supported by {{FileSystem}}.
