Hi [~rkanter]
Some queries related to tags and this jira
# IIUC, users create externally the Flow, Flowrun Entities and just give these id's as tags @ the time of app submission. so during creation of the app we ensure Hierarchies are updated properly. If my understanding is correct then whats the way user can create Flow, Flow run & Cluster ?
Or is it all the data related to the Flow, Flow run & Cluster is passed as part of tags and if its not present we need to create the  entities for them  @ the time of app submission ?
# Hopefully limitation of size (100 chars ) and ascii char only support only, by tags should not be a concern for passing the information to Yarn but better 
to capture this if we are considering tags as interface for passing flow and flow run information.
# IMHO i would have liked to have explicit interface for clients to pass these information rather than tags. As even though tags might serve the purpose but doesn't seem like graceful interface for clients.

> Per design in YARN-2928, implement client-side API for handling *flows*. Frameworks should be able to define and pass in all attributes of flows and flow runs to YARN, and they should be passed into ATS writers.
> YARN tags were discussed as a way to handle this piece of information.
