-----------------------------------------

[~ashahab] and I have been working together on this for the past few weeks. (We demoed this recently as well). I am going to file sub tasks so that we can make progress. 

thanks,

> Support Docker Containers In LinuxContainerExecutor
> LinuxContainerExecutor provides useful functionality today with respect to localization, cgroups based resource management and isolation for CPU, network, disk etc. as well as security with a well-defined mechanism to execute privileged operations using the container-executor utility.  Bringing docker support to LinuxContainerExecutor lets us use all of this functionality when running docker containers under YARN, while not requiring users and admins to configure and use a different ContainerExecutor. 
> There are several aspects here that need to be worked through :
> * Mechanism(s) to let clients request docker-specific functionality - we could initially implement this via environment variables without impacting the client API.
> * Security - both docker daemon as well as application
> * Docker image localization
> * Running a docker container via container-executor as a specified user
> * “Isolate” the docker container in terms of CPU/network/disk/etc
> * Communicating with and/or signaling the running container (ensure correct pid handling)
> * Figure out workarounds for certain performance-sensitive scenarios like HDFS short-circuit reads 
> * All of these need to be achieved without changing the current behavior of LinuxContainerExecutor
