Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-1754:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for sharing, this is an interesting proposal. One question I have though is that, since YARN is designed for short task (e.g., MR job) resource allocation, is it a good fit for long-running services such as Kafka?

> YARN (Hadoop 2.x) has enabled clusters to be used for a variety of workloads, emerging as distributed operating system for big data applications. Initiatives are on the way to bring long running services under the YARN umbrella, leveraging it for centralized resource management and operations ([YARN-896] and examples such as HBase, Accumulo or Memcached through Slider). This JIRA is to propose KOYA (Kafka On Yarn), a YARN application master to launch and manage Kafka clusters running on YARN. Brokers will use resources allocated through YARN with support for recovery, monitoring etc. Please see attached for more details.
