Karthik Kambatla created YARN-3607:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow users to choose between failing the daemons vs failing the apps/containers
                 Key: YARN-3607
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3607
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: nodemanager, resourcemanager, scheduler
    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
            Reporter: Karthik Kambatla
            Assignee: Karthik Kambatla


We often run into cases where we are faced with the option of failing the daemon (fail-fast) vs failing user's work and keep the cluster running. There is no clear right way to handle these situations - some users would like to be conservative and let the daemons run, while others would like to fail-fast. 

Today, we handle these case-by-case and go by what the people working on it feel is the right way to handle things. Examples include how we handle app recovery failures, queue-changes on RM restart. 

Users should be able to choose between these two extremes, and have all these situations handled the same way.
