Arun Suresh commented on YARN-4602:
-----------------------------------
[~djp], wondering if you've taken a look at apache REEF. It uses an event
driven framework called https://reef.apache.org/wake.html that also supports
messaging. It uses Netty under the hood.

> Key: YARN-4602
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4602
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: applications, resourcemanager
> Reporter: Junping Du
> Assignee: Junping Du

> We are proposing to support MR AM restart with work preserving in
> MAPREDUCE-6608 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6608) that
> when AM get failed for some reason, the inflight tasks will keep
> running/pending until new AM attempt comes back to continue. One of
> prerequisite is tasks should know where the new AM attempt get launched so
> TaskUmbilicalProtocol can get retry between clients and new server.
> There could be the same requirement for other applications running on YARN
> too. Some application decide to handle message delivery itself, e.g. Long
> running services can leverage Slider agent to notify messages back and forth.
> However, vanilla applications on YARN is hard to achieve this because Hadoop
> RPC mechanism essentially is a single way of communication. Although two
> directions mechanism like heartbeats (between NM-RM or AM-RM) can get built
> on top of it, it make less sense to build the same mechanism between AM and
> its application containers - or it need to handle massive of client
> connections in AM which could be the new bottleneck for scalability and very
> complicated in state maintaining. Instead, we need a new message mechanism
> that is simple and scalable.
