[jira] [Updated] (YARN-4266) Allow whitelisted users to disable
user re-mapping/squashing when launching docker containers
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4266?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sidharta Seethana updated YARN-4266:
------------------------------------
Description:
Docker provides a mechanism (the --user switch) that enables us to specify the user the container processes should run as. We use this mechanism today when launching docker containers . In non-secure mode, we run the docker container based on `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.nonsecure-mode.local-user` and in secure mode, as the submitting user. However, this mechanism breaks down with a large number of 'pre-created' images which don't necessarily have the users available within the image. Examples of such images include shared images that need to be used by multiple users. We need a way in which we can allow a pre-defined set of users to run containers based on existing images, without using the --user switch.
