YARN Commands
=============

<!-- MACRO{toc|fromDepth=0|toDepth=3} -->

Overview
--------

YARN commands are invoked by the bin/yarn script. Running the yarn script without any arguments prints the description for all commands.

Usage: `yarn [SHELL_OPTIONS] COMMAND [GENERIC_OPTIONS] [SUB_COMMAND] [COMMAND_OPTIONS]`

YARN has an option parsing framework that employs parsing generic options as well as running classes.

| COMMAND\_OPTIONS | Description |
|:---- |:---- |
| SHELL\_OPTIONS | The common set of shell options. These are documented on the [Commands Manual](../../hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/CommandsManual.html#Shell_Options) page. |
| GENERIC\_OPTIONS | The common set of options supported by multiple commands. See the Hadoop [Commands Manual](../../hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/CommandsManual.html#Generic_Options) for more information. |
| COMMAND\_OPTIONS | Various commands with their options are described in the following sections. The commands have been grouped into [User Commands](#User_Commands) and [Administration Commands](#Administration_Commands). |

User Commands
-------------

Commands useful for users of a Hadoop cluster.

Development is still in progress so the converter should not be considered complete! <br/> Converts the specified Fair Scheduler configuration to Capacity Scheduler configuration. Requires two mandatory input files. First, the yarn-site.xml with the following format: [-y&#124;yarnsiteconfig [\<Path to the yarn-site.xml file\>]. Secondly, the fair-scheduler.xml with the following format: [-f&#124;fsconfig [\<Path to the fair-scheduler.xml file\>]. This config is not mandatory if there is a reference in yarn-site.xml to the fair-scheduler.xml with the property 'yarn.scheduler.fair.allocation.file'. If both are defined, the -f option has precedence. The output directory of the config files should be specified as well, with: \[-o&#124;output-directory\ \<directory\>]. An optional rules config file could be also specified with the following format: [-r&#124;rulesconfig \<Path to the conversion rules file\>]. The rule config file's format is a property file. There's an additional \[-p&#124;print\] parameter, which is optional. If defined, the configuration will be emitted to the console instead. In its normal operation, the output files (yarn-site.xml and capacity-scheduler.xml) of this command is generated to the specified output directory. The cluster resource parameter (\[-c&#124;cluster-resource\] \<resource\>\]) needs to be specified if any queue has a maxResources setting with value as percentage. The format of the resource string is the same as in fair-scheduler.xml.) ] |

Start the ResourceManager

### `rmadmin`

Usage:

```
  Usage: yarn rmadmin
     -refreshQueues
     -refreshNodes [-g|graceful [timeout in seconds] -client|server]
     -refreshNodesResources
     -refreshSuperUserGroupsConfiguration
     -refreshUserToGroupsMappings
     -refreshAdminAcls
     -refreshServiceAcl
     -getGroups [username]
     -addToClusterNodeLabels <"label1(exclusive=true),label2(exclusive=false),label3">
     -removeFromClusterNodeLabels <label1,label2,label3> (label splitted by ",")
     -replaceLabelsOnNode <"node1[:port]=label1 node2[:port]=label2"> [-failOnUnknownNodes]
     -directlyAccessNodeLabelStore
     -refreshClusterMaxPriority
     -updateNodeResource [NodeID] [MemSize] [vCores] ([OvercommitTimeout]) or -updateNodeResource [NodeID] [ResourceTypes] ([OvercommitTimeout])
     -transitionToActive [--forceactive] <serviceId>
     -transitionToStandby <serviceId>
     -getServiceState <serviceId>
     -getAllServiceState
     -checkHealth <serviceId>
     -help [cmd]
```

| COMMAND\_OPTIONS | Description |
|:---- |:---- |
| -refreshQueues | Reload the queues' acls, states and scheduler specific properties. ResourceManager will reload the mapred-queues configuration file. |
| -refreshNodes [-g&#124;graceful [timeout in seconds] -client&#124;server] | Refresh the hosts information at the ResourceManager. Here [-g&#124;graceful [timeout in seconds] -client&#124;server] is optional, if we specify the timeout then ResourceManager will wait for timeout before marking the NodeManager as decommissioned. The -client&#124;server indicates if the timeout tracking should be handled by the client or the ResourceManager. The client-side tracking is blocking, while the server-side tracking is not. Omitting the timeout, or a timeout of -1, indicates an infinite timeout. Known Issue: the server-side tracking will immediately decommission if an RM HA failover occurs. |
| -refreshNodesResources | Refresh resources of NodeManagers at the ResourceManager. |
| -refreshSuperUserGroupsConfiguration | Refresh superuser proxy groups mappings. |
| -refreshUserToGroupsMappings | Refresh user-to-groups mappings. |
| -refreshAdminAcls | Refresh acls for administration of ResourceManager |
| -refreshServiceAcl | Reload the service-level authorization policy file ResourceManager will reload the authorization policy file. |
| -getGroups [username] | Get groups the specified user belongs to. |
| -addToClusterNodeLabels <"label1(exclusive=true),label2(exclusive=false),label3"> | Add to cluster node labels. Default exclusivity is true. |
| -removeFromClusterNodeLabels <label1,label2,label3> (label splitted by ",") | Remove from cluster node labels. |
| -replaceLabelsOnNode <"node1[:port]=label1 node2[:port]=label2"> [-failOnUnknownNodes]| Replace labels on nodes (please note that we do not support specifying multiple labels on a single host for now.) -failOnUnknownNodes is optional, when we set this option, it will fail if specified nodes are unknown.|
| -directlyAccessNodeLabelStore | This is DEPRECATED, will be removed in future releases. Directly access node label store, with this option, all node label related operations will not connect RM. Instead, they will access/modify stored node labels directly. By default, it is false (access via RM). AND PLEASE NOTE: if you configured yarn.node-labels.fs-store.root-dir to a local directory (instead of NFS or HDFS), this option will only work when the command run on the machine where RM is running. |
| -refreshClusterMaxPriority | Refresh cluster max priority |
| -updateNodeResource [NodeID] [MemSize] [vCores] \([OvercommitTimeout]\) | Update resource on specific node. |
| -updateNodeResource [NodeID] [ResourceTypes] \([OvercommitTimeout]\) | Update resource types on specific node. Resource Types is comma-delimited key value pairs of any resources available at Resource Manager. For example, memory-mb=1024Mi,vcores=1,resource1=2G,resource2=4m|
| -transitionToActive [--forceactive] [--forcemanual] \<serviceId\> | Transitions the service into Active state. Try to make the target active without checking that there is no active node if the --forceactive option is used. This command can not be used if automatic failover is enabled. Though you can override this by --forcemanual option, you need caution. This command can not be used if automatic failover is enabled.|
| -transitionToStandby [--forcemanual] \<serviceId\> | Transitions the service into Standby state. This command can not be used if automatic failover is enabled. Though you can override this by --forcemanual option, you need caution. |
| -getServiceState \<serviceId\> | Returns the state of the service. |
| -getAllServiceState | Returns the state of all the services. |
| -checkHealth \<serviceId\> | Requests that the service perform a health check. The RMAdmin tool will exit with a non-zero exit code if the check fails. |
| -help [cmd] | Displays help for the given command or all commands if none is specified. |

Runs ResourceManager admin client

### schedulerconf

Usage: `yarn schedulerconf [options]`

| COMMAND\_OPTIONS | Description |
|:---- |:---- |
| -add <"queuePath1:key1=val1,key2=val2;queuePath2:key3=val3"> | Semicolon separated values of queues to add and their queue configurations. This example adds queue "queuePath1" (a full path name), which has queue configurations key1=val1 and key2=val2. It also adds queue "queuePath2", which has queue configuration key3=val3. |
| -remove <"queuePath1;queuePath2"> | Semicolon separated queues to remove. This example removes queuePath1 and queuePath2 queues (full path names). **Note:** Queues must be put into `STOPPED` state before they are deleted. |
| -update <"queuePath1:key1=val1,key2=val2;queuePath2:key3=val3"> | Semicolon separated values of queues whose configurations should be updated. This example sets key1=val1 and key2=val2 for queue configuration of queuePath1 (full path name), and sets key3=val3 for queue configuration of queuePath2. |
| -global <key1=val1,key2=val2> | Update scheduler global configurations. This example sets key1=val1 and key2=val2 for scheduler's global configuration. |
