             Summary: Extend the YARN resource model for easier resource-type management and profiles
                 Key: YARN-3926
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3926
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: nodemanager, resourcemanager
            Reporter: Varun Vasudev
            Assignee: Varun Vasudev


Currently, there are efforts to add support for various resource-types such as disk(YARN-2139), network(YARN-2140), and  HDFS bandwidth(YARN-2681). These efforts all aim to add support for a new resource type and are fairly involved efforts. In addition, once support is added, it becomes harder for users to specify the resources they need. All existing jobs have to be modified, or have to use the minimum allocation.

This ticket is a proposal to extend the YARN resource model to a more flexible model which makes it easier to support additional resource-types. It also considers the related aspect of “resource profiles” which allow users to easily specify the various resources they need for any given container.
