Naganarasimha G R commented on YARN-3813: ----------------------------------------- True, your point is correct so basically it should fail its not yet in running state even a boolean parameter for this should be sufficient I think ! > Support Application timeout feature in YARN. > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-3813 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3813 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: scheduler > Reporter: nijel > Assignee: nijel > Attachments: 0001-YARN-3813.patch, YARN Application Timeout .pdf > > > It will be useful to support Application Timeout in YARN. Some use cases are > not worried about the output of the applications if the application is not > completed in a specific time. > *Background:* > The requirement is to show the CDR statistics of last few minutes, say for > every 5 minutes. The same Job will run continuously with different dataset. > So one job will be started in every 5 minutes. The estimate time for this > task is 2 minutes or lesser time. > If the application is not completing in the given time the output is not > useful. > *Proposal* > So idea is to support application timeout, with which timeout parameter is > given while submitting the job. > Here, user is expecting to finish (complete or kill) the application in the > given time. > One option for us is to move this logic to Application client (who submit the > job). > But it will be nice if it can be generic logic and can make more robust. > Kindly provide your suggestions/opinion on this feature. If it sounds good, i > will update the design doc and prototype patch -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
