--------------------------------

             Summary: Nodemanager should set some key information into the environment of every container that it launches.
                 Key: YARN-561
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-561
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Hitesh Shah


Information such as containerId, nodemanager hostname, nodemanager port is not set in the environment when any container is launched. 

For an AM, the RM does all of this for it but for a container launched by an application, all of the above need to be set by the ApplicationMaster. 

At the minimum, container id would be a useful piece of information. If the container wishes to talk to its local NM, the nodemanager related information would also come in handy.
