YARN container accounting

[Zubair Nabi <zn...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm running a custom service within a container obtained from the RM. Due to its design, even though it is launched from within the container -- because it runs as a daemon -- it is not accounted to the container and runs outside it (with PPID: 1). Considering the NM uses cgroups to enforce container limits, the resources used by this daemon are not accounted to the container. Is there anything within the YARN API that one can use to account external processes to a container?

Thanks.

Best,
Zubair
