Rohith Sharma K S commented on YARN-3981:
-----------------------------------------

bq. We can launch collectors as separate process for this use case?
There are 2 ways. Firstly run as default service in NM? Pros is RM can make use 
of underlaying NM-RM communication protocol. RM need to just track of collector 
address. Secondly run as separate process? Pro's is is that admin can decide 
off-client-writer-cluster. Con's is RM need to track this daemon separately at 
high level

bq. For storing those entities posted from clients, can we put them in the 
entity table, but just leave some unknown fields empty? Will that be a concern 
for the storage API's semantics?
Yes, it is concern for storage API's semantics. Current schema structure for 
entity table is 
*userName!clusterId!flowName!flowRunId!AppId!entityType!entityId*. So, key 
would become *userName!clusterId!flowName!null!null!entityType!entityId* which 
I am not sure doe HBase support this as a key for read/write.

> In the current v.2 design, all timeline writes must belong in a 
> flow/application context (cluster + user + flow + flow run + application).
> But there are use cases that require writing data outside the context of an 
> application. One such example is a higher level client (e.g. tez client or 
> hive/oozie/cascading client) writing flow-level data that spans multiple 
> applications. We need to find a way to support them.
