Jason Lowe commented on YARN-6125:
----------------------------------

So I assume the tail end of the diagnostics would have been just as good as the 
first?  If so, my vote is to roll this out initially with preserving the tail 
end.  We'll have to come up with a reasonable default limit so most 
stacktraces/errors fit to avoid making things hard to debug by default.

> We've found through experience that the diagnostic message can grow 
> unbounded.  I've seen attempts that have diagnostic messages over 1MB.  Since 
> the message is stored in the state store, it's a bad idea to allow the 
> message to grow unbounded.  Instead, there should be a property that sets a 
> maximum size on the message.
> I suspect that some of the ZK state store issues we've seen in the past were 
> due to the size of the diagnostic messages and not to the size of the 
> classpath, as is the current prevailing opinion.
> An open question is how best to prune the message once it grows too large.  
> Should we
> # truncate the tail,
> # truncate the head,
> # truncate the middle,
> # add another property to make the behavior selectable, or
> # none of the above?
