Description

As discussed on the mailing lists and community meetings, the plan is to deprecate the yunikorn plugin mode along the following schedule:

• YuniKorn 1.6: Deprecation announced
• YuniKorn 1.7: Scheduler will emit warnings if plugin mode is in use
• YuniKorn 1.8: YuniKorn will no longer ship plugin mode binaries
• YuniKorn 1.9: Implementation removed from codebase

As a first step, for 1.6 we need to update the documentation to give notice of the deprecation timeline. This will ensure that users have adequate notice to move away from plugin mode.
