My thoughts- As shown from my comments on YARN-7129, I have particular concerns that resonate other posters on this thread. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-7129?focusedCommentId=16790842&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16790842 - Docker images don't evolve at the same rate as Hadoop (tends to favor a separate release cycle, perhaps project) - Docker images could have many flavors and favoring one flavor (say ubuntu, or windows) over another takes away from Apache Hadoop's platform neutral stance (providing a single "one image fits all" stance is optimistic). - Introduces release processes that could limit the community's ability to produce releases at a regular rate. (Effective root user permissions needed to create image limiting who can release, extra Docker image only releases) - In addition, I worry this send a complicated message to our consumers and will stagnate release adoption. > I will make adjustment accordingly unless 7 more people comes out and say otherwise. I'm sorry if this is a bit of humor which is lost on me. However, Apache Hadoop has a set of bylaws that dictate the community's process on decision making. https://hadoop.apache.org/bylaws.html Best Regards, jeagles
