[jira] [Commented] (YARN-2466) Umbrella issue for Yarn launched Docker Containers

["Chen He (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2466?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14284598#comment-14284598 ] 

Chen He commented on YARN-2466:
-------------------------------

Hi [~ashahab], do we need to add a configuration parameter that can enable the container in "interactive" mode. Such as: "yarn.docker.interactive". Then, user can attach to the running container just for debugging concern.

> Docker (https://www.docker.io/) is, increasingly, a very popular container technology.
> In context of YARN, the support for Docker will provide a very elegant solution to allow applications to package their software into a Docker container (entire Linux file system incl. custom versions of perl, python etc.) and use it as a blueprint to launch all their YARN containers with requisite software environment. This provides both consistency (all YARN containers will have the same software environment) and isolation (no interference with whatever is installed on the physical machine).
> In addition to software isolation mentioned above, Docker containers will provide resource, network, and user-namespace isolation. 
> Docker provides resource isolation through cgroups, similar to LinuxContainerExecutor. This prevents one job from taking other jobs resource(memory and CPU) on the same hadoop cluster. 
> User-namespace isolation will ensure that the root on the container is mapped an unprivileged user on the host. This is currently being added to Docker.
> Network isolation will ensure that one user’s network traffic is completely isolated from another user’s network traffic. 
> Last but not the least, the interaction of Docker and Kerberos will have to be worked out. These Docker containers must work in a secure hadoop environment.
