Junping Du commented on YARN-4074:
----------------------------------

Thanks for uploading a patch, [~sjlee0]! Sorry for coming late on this, but 
have a critical question on TimelineReader interface:
bq. Currently I am not planning to add new flow-specific methods to the 
TimelineReader interface.
If so , how to query lastest N records with existing getEntities() API? 
Actually, I think we should refactor existing getEntities() API before things 
get worse. It include too many parameters, and most of them are optional. This 
is very un-handy, easily cause bug and very hard to extend in future. 
Instead, we should define something like EntityFilter class to include most of 
these optional fields (include time range, topN, info/config/metric 
sub-filters, etc.) which also be extended easily for other filters in future. 
Thoughts?

Still in walking through your POC patch, more comments come after.
