Zhijie Shen commented on YARN-3984:
-----------------------------------
[~vrushalic], thanks for picking it up. The aforementioned cases are definitely
good to support, while the current query we want to support now (in YARN-3051
and YARN-3049) is to retrieve all events belonging to an entity (e.g.
application, attempt, container and etc.). With this basic query, we can easily
distill the details that happen to the entity, such as the diagnostic msg of
the kill event. In this case, the most efficient way is to put timestamp even
before the event ID, so that we don't need to order the events in memory.
In addition to the key composition, I find another significant problem with the
event store schema. If the event doesn't contain any info, it will be ignored
then. And we cannot always guarantee user will put something into info. For
example, user may define a KILL event without any diagnostic msg.

> Currently, the event column key is event_id?info_key?timestamp, which is not
> so friendly to fetching all the events of an entity and sorting them in a
> chronologic order. IMHO, timestamp?event_id?info_key may be a better key
> schema. I open this jira to continue the discussion about it which was
> commented on YARN-3908.
