Hi All
   I am wondering what the yarn.nodemanager.aux-services stands for  。
there even is not description about it in the yarn-default.xml。So i‘ve just
ignored it when i tried the example,as a result ,it failed。
  I have do some google，however，everyone just setup it in the
yarn-site.xml,but no one tells the  description about it。
  please,helps will be appreciated .

 .

Hi,

The function of yarn.nodemanager.aux-services is to run any custom
Service [1] implementations from the user, in the YARN NodeManager's
runtime. The "aux" stands for auxiliary.

One such example of where this comes useful is the ShuffleHandler [2]
service, which helps MR do its shuffle work, without needing the NM
itself to provide a shuffle service unnecessarily (in case MR is not
required). Therefore, a ShuffleHandler is necessary to be configured
if you need to run MR2 apps (jobs), but not otherwise. A clear
difference, in case you're confused between MR2 and YARN, can be found
at [3].

Do feel free to ask any further questions you have.
