[jira] [Comment Edited] (YARN-4266) Allow whitelisted users to disable user re-mapping/squashing when launching docker containers

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, [~ebadger]. I'm very interested in testing out the patch when it is ready.

{quote}Yea I'm really not a fan either. I would strongly prefer a better, cleaner solution to this problem if there is one.{quote}
The intent to YARN-5534 is provide a mount white list, so I believe that should help here. The initial patch could hard code the bind mount while we test and provide feedback. Hopefully we can leverage YARN-5534 before this is wrapped up.

{quote}I'm looking into this. I'm hoping that we can get around this so that we can optionally add the bind mount, but not require it for the --user option. I have not yet tested other AMs.{quote}
I don't think this is a requirement for the initial version. We could do a follow on effort to remove/reduce the need for the bind mounted socket for a known list of AMs, assuming the behavior can be changed in those AMs.

> Docker provides a mechanism (the --user switch) that enables us to specify the user the container processes should run as. We use this mechanism today when launching docker containers . In non-secure mode, we run the docker container based on `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.nonsecure-mode.local-user` and in secure mode, as the submitting user. However, this mechanism breaks down with a large number of 'pre-created' images which don't necessarily have the users available within the image. Examples of such images include shared images that need to be used by multiple users. We need a way in which we can allow a pre-defined set of users to run containers based on existing images, without using the --user switch. There are some implications of disabling this user squashing that we'll need to work through : log aggregation, artifact deletion etc.,
