The YARN architecture
The following figure illustrates the architecture of a YARN-based cluster. There are five major component types in a YARN cluster. They are as follows:
Resource Manager (RM): This is a per-cluster daemon that is solely responsible for allocating and managing resources available within the cluster.
Node Manager (NM): This is a per-node daemon that is responsible for local resource management. It is also the node-local representative of the RM.
Application Master (AM): This is a per-application daemon that encapsulates all application-specific logic and libraries. The AM is responsible for negotiating resources from the RM and working with the NM to execute them to completion.
Container: This is an abstract representation of a resource set that is given to a particular application. The AM is a specialized container that is used to bootstrap and manage the entire application's life cycle.
Client: This is the entity in the cluster that can submit applications to the RM...
