----------------------------------------
Usage statistics can also be reported via cgroups.
> Interface for users/AM to know actual usage by the container

> Today we allocate resource (memory and cpu) and node manager starts the
> container with requested resource [I am assuming they are using cgroups]. But
> there is definitely a possibility of users requesting more than what they
> actually may need during the execution of their container/job-task. If we add
> a way for users/AM to know the actual usage of the requested/completed
> container then they may optimize it for next run..
> This will be helpful for AM to optimize cpu/memory resource requests by
> querying NM/RM to know avg/max cpu/memory usage of the container or may be
> containers belonging to application.
