Sidharta Seethana commented on YARN-4262:
-----------------------------------------
It is not clear to me why there are compilation failures
(https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-YARN-Build/9450/artifact/patchprocess/testrun_hadoop-yarn-api.txt)
- the 'cannot find symbol' errors refer to symbols that are included in the
patch (YarnConfiguration.java).
> Allow whitelisted users to run privileged docker containers.

> (Updated based on discussion in the JIRA)
> There are scenarios where privileged containers are necessary in order to run
> certain kinds of applications (one example is trying to run postresql/oracle
> inside containers). However, given the security implications, we should
> ensure that :
> 1) privileged containers are disabled by default
> 2) if enabled, only a whitelisted set of users should be allowed to launch
> such containers and
> 3) Not all containers launched by whitelisted users need to be privileged
> containers : whitelisted users need to explicitly request that a privileged
> container be launched.
