Jian Fang commented on YARN-796:
--------------------------------
In our environment, most likely the label condition will be OR, not AND. But it
is good to support basic logic such as AND, OR, and NOT.
Users may like to allocate application masters to nodes only with specific
labels. This is a special use case because the AM container is actually
launched by hadoop itself, not the user. You may like to add some parameters
such as "yarn.app.mapreduce.am.labels" so that hadoop will honor this
parameter. You may also like to add an option like "yarn.label.enabled" to turn
on and off the label feature.
Why do users have to choose either decentralized or centralized label
configuration? The labels could be static and dynamic. The static ones should
be loaded from yarn-site.xml on each node and the dynamic ones should be
specified by a restful API or ADMIN. To me, the restful API could be more
useful than the Admin UI. For example, everything is automated for clusters in
a cloud and no manual work in most cases. As a result, I would rather to have a
restful API to update the labels on a node directly through node manager, which
will in return sync with resource manager. Or the API will update both resource
manager and the node manager if the sync time is a problem here.
> Allow for (admin) labels on nodes and resource-requests

> It will be useful for admins to specify labels for nodes. Examples of labels
> are OS, processor architecture etc.
> We should expose these labels and allow applications to specify labels on
> resource-requests.
> Obviously we need to support admin operations on adding/removing node labels.
