[jira] [Commented] (YARN-1390) Add applicationSource to ApplicationSubmissionContext and RMApp

["Zhijie Shen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1390?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13815147#comment-13815147 ] 

Zhijie Shen commented on YARN-1390:
-----------------------------------

It sounds to me another way to categorize applications, but IMOH, it can still make use of the "applicationType" field. Users can define the types based one computation framework: mapreduce, tez, storm, mpi and etc, and also the ones based on the *source*: pig, hive, oozie, sqoop and etc. It's just a different opinions on the definition of the "applicationType".

Sometimes, users want to have both information, the computation framework and the source. It sounds to me more like the requirement of sub-types:
||1st level||2nd level||
|hive|mapreduce|
| |tez|
|pig|mapreduce|
| |tez|

> In addition to other fields like application-type (added in YARN-563), it is useful to have an applicationSource field to track the source of an application. The application source can be useful in (1) fetching only those applications a user is interested in, (2) potentially adding source-specific optimizations in the future. 
> Examples of sources are: User-defined project names, Pig, Hive, Oozie, Sqoop etc.
