+1 (non-binding) Thanks,Vinod, for the time and effort you put into creating this release.
I downloaded and built the source for 2.7.0, RC0. I started a local cluster and ran wordcount, sleep, and streaming jobs. In addition, I did the following: o I ran a distributed shell job which tested preserving containers across AM restarts. I did this by setting the -keep_containers_across_application_attempts flag and killing the first AM once the containers started. I checked the results by querying the timeline server and comparing the start and end times of the non-AM containers against the start and end times of the later AM containers. This verified that the non-AM containers started during the first AM's run and finished after the first AM had been killed and after the second AM had started. o I enabled the preemption feature and verified that containers were preempted from preemptable queues and not from non-preemptable ones. o I ran unit tests for hadoop-yarn-server-resourcemanage. All passed with the exception of TestFifoScheduler#testResourceOverCommit. o I ran unit tests for hadoop-yarn-server-nodemanager. All passed with the exception of TestResourceLocalizationService#testFailedDirsResourceRelease. o I ran unit tests for hadoop-hdfs. All passed with the exception of TestReplaceDatanodeOnFailure#testReplaceDatanodeOnFailure,TestBalancer#testUnknownDatanode, TestBPOfferService#testBasicFunctionality, and TestWebHdfsFileSystemContract#testGetFileBlockLocations.
