Description

Different container types (default, LXC, docker, VM box, etc.) have different semantics on isolation of security, namespace/env, performance, etc.
Per discussions in YARN-1964, we have some good thoughts on supporting different types of containers running on YARN and specified by application at runtime which largely enhance YARN's flexibility to meet heterogenous app's requirement on isolation at runtime.
