Zhenyu Zheng commented on YARN-9897:
------------------------------------

Some updates, our team has succesfully donated ARM resources and setup an ARM 
CI for Apache Spark:
https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/spark-master-test-maven-arm/
it will set to periodic job and then PR trigger when we think it is stable 
enough. And it includes some basic YARN tests, and it seems OK.

I really hope we can do the same for YARN.

> As YARN is the resource manager of Hadoop and there are large number of other 
> software that also uses YARN for resource management. The capability of 
> running YARN on platforms with different architecture and managing hardware 
> resources with different architecture could be very important and useful.
> Aarch64(ARM) architecture is currently the dominate architecture in small 
> devices like phone, IOT devices, security cameras, drones etc. With the 
> increasing compuiting capability and the increasing connection speed like 5G 
> network, there could be greate posibility and opportunity for world chaging 
> inovations and new market if we can managing and make use of those devices as 
> well.
> Currently, all YARN CIs are based on x86 architecture and we have been 
> performing tests on Aarch64 and proposing possible solutions for problems we 
> have meet, like:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16614
> we have done all YARN tests and it turns out there are only a few problems, 
> and we can provide possible solutions for discussion.
> We want to propose to add an Aarch64 CI for YARN to promote the support for 
> YARN on Aarch64 platforms. We are willing to provide machines to the current 
> CI system and manpower to mananging the CI and fxing problems that occours.
