Jason Lowe commented on YARN-4316:
----------------------------------
I don't think this is the right way to approach the problem. Having a
separate, unrelated config for reporting a version is just begs for someone to
get it wrong, either forgetting to update it when the code changes or worse,
making it completely wrong. The real problem here is that you are deploying
code with the same version number. The version number should be different when
deploying new code, which means the version number should be changing when the
code for deployment is built.
Your build process should have a step where the version number is set. The
maven versions plugin makes this pretty easy, see
http://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/ for details. We already do this
today internally, and we have a longer version number that includes additional
patch versions. These versions show up on the UI just fine. As a bonus, the
{{hadoop version}} command also reports the proper version, as does the RM UI,
NN UI, etc.

> When upgrading all NM to a new bug fix version, we often upgrade some NM
> first, then upgrade rest NM if all looks right. We could avoid breakdown
> whole cluster in this way if new version of NM does not work well. But there
> is no easy way to tell us whether we have missed upgrading some NM.
> We could see all NM's version info in RM's web page as attached. These
> version info are too generic, e.g. 2.4.1, 2.6.1, 2.6.2. For small bug fix
> version, version will remain same. If we could change the version info more
> detailed(e.g. 2.4.1.12), we could make sure whether we have upgrade all NM to
> the new bug fix version.
> I propose to add a new config(yarn.nodemanager.version) in yarn-site.xml to
> solve this problem. When upgrading NM, we configure it to the new version at
> the same time. NM will report this version to RM, then we could see it.
