Description

In addition to other fields like application-type (added in YARN-563), it is useful to have an applicationSource field to track the source of an application. The application source can be useful in (1) fetching only those applications a user is interested in, (2) potentially adding source-specific optimizations in the future.

Examples of sources are: User-defined project names, Pig, Hive, Oozie, Sqoop etc.
