> Right now, using Docker on YARN has some hard requirements. If these requirements are not met, then launching the containers will fail and and error message will be printed. Depending on how familiar the user is with Docker, it might or might not be easy for them to understand what went wrong and how to fix the underlying problem.
> It would be important to explicitly document these requirements along with the error messages.
> *#1: CGroups handler cannot be systemd*
> If docker deamon runs with systemd cgroups handler, we receive the following error upon launching a container:
> {noformat}
> Container id: container_1561638268473_0006_01_000002
> Exit code: 7
> Exception message: Launch container failed
> Shell error output: /usr/bin/docker-current: Error response from daemon: cgroup-parent for systemd cgroup should be a valid slice named as "xxx.slice".
> See '/usr/bin/docker-current run --help'.
> Shell output: main : command provided 4
> main : run as user is johndoe
> main : requested yarn user is johndoe
> {noformat}
> Solution: switch to cgroupfs. Doing so can be OS-specific, but we can document a {{systemcl}} example.
>  
> *#2: {{/bin/bash}} must be present on the {{$PATH}} inside the container*
> Some smaller images like "busybox" or "alpine" does not have {{/bin/bash}}. It's because all commands under {{/bin}} are linked to {{/bin/busybox}} and there's only {{/bin/sh}}.
> If we try to use these kind of images, we'll see the following error message:
> {noformat}
> Container id: container_1561638268473_0015_01_000002
> Exit code: 7
> Exception message: Launch container failed
> Shell error output: /usr/bin/docker-current: Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:235: starting container process caused "exec: \"bash\": executable file not found in $PATH".
> Shell output: main : command provided 4
> main : run as user is johndoe
> main : requested yarn user is johndoe
> {noformat}
>  
> *#3: {{find}} command must be available on the {{$PATH}}*
> It seems obvious that we have the {{find}} command, but even very popular images like {{fedora}} requires that we install it separately.
> If we don't have {{find}} available, then {{launcher_container.sh}} fails with:
> {noformat}
> [2019-07-01 03:51:25.053]Container exited with a non-zero exit code 127. Error file: prelaunch.err.

> *#4 Add cmd-line example of how to tag local images*
> This is actually documented under "Privileged Container Security Consideration", but an one-liner would be helpful. I had trouble running a local docker image and tagging it appropriately. Just an example like {{docker tag local_ubuntu local/ubuntu:latest}} is already very informative.
