Chris Douglas commented on YARN-7712:
-------------------------------------

bq. I would like to keep this jira simple, all it is about is to ignore the 
timestamp check on downloads
Is the intent to accommodate a) modifications to files or b) completely 
different files- or files that don't exist during submission- as dependencies? 
What problem is this solving?

Ignoring the timestamp makes localization non-deterministic. A reexecution of a 
task could download and use a different dependency. Speculatively executed 
tasks could use different dependencies, depending on which machine they run on. 
It's a rare user who can safely disable this check in YARN, but can't work 
around the timestamp check...

> YARN currently requires and checks the timestamp of localized files and 
> fails, if the file on HDFS does not match to the one requested. This jira 
> adds the ability to ignore the timestamp based on the request of the client.
