Sidharta Seethana commented on YARN-4309:
-----------------------------------------

Ah, I guess the fact that it is listed implies the link is broken. I was thrown 
off by this comment in the patch which seemed to imply find would exit with an 
error of some sort. 

{code}
      // don't run error check because if there are broken symlinks
      // or loops find will exit with an error
{code}

Also, do we need to worry about -L following links outside of the current 
directory?

> Sometimes when a container fails, it can be pretty hard to figure out why it 
> failed.
> My proposal is that if a container fails, we collect information about the 
> container local dir and dump it into the container log dir. Ideally, I'd like 
> to tar up the directory entirely, but I'm not sure of the security and space 
> implications of such a approach. At the very least, we can list all the files 
> in the container local dir, and dump the contents of launch_container.sh(into 
> the container log dir).
> When log aggregation occurs, all this information will automatically get 
> collected and make debugging such failures much easier.
