Description

Right now, we expect the YARN command line interface to be connected with the Application Master all the time to control the "yarn session" or the job.

For very long running sessions or jobs users want to just "fire and forget" a job/session to YARN.
Stopping the session will still be possible using YARN's tools.

Also, prior to "detaching" itself, the CLI frontend could print the required command to kill the session as a convenience.
