Bartosz Ługowski commented on YARN-1621:
----------------------------------------

I had extracted {{yarn container}} method from ApplicationCLI to new file(ContainerCLI) and changed {{yarn container -list <Application Attempt ID>}} to {{yarn container -list <Application ID|Application Attempt ID>}}. Now container states filtering is done at server side(not at CLI, as suggested [~Naganarasimha]), and works for both: applications and application attempts. I didn't include changes in {{yarn.cmd}} because it brakes the patch(git can't apply it).

> Add CLI to list rows of <task attempt ID, container ID, host of container, state of container>

> As more applications are moved to YARN, we need generic CLI to list rows of <task attempt ID, container ID, host of container, state of container>. Today if YARN application running in a container does hang, there is no way to find out more info because a user does not know where each attempt is running in.
> For each running application, it is useful to differentiate between running/succeeded/failed/killed containers.
>  
> {code:title=proposed yarn cli}
> $ yarn application -list-containers -applicationId <appId> [-containerState <state of container>]
> where containerState is optional filter to list container in given state only.
> <container state> can be running/succeeded/killed/failed/all.
> A user can specify more than one container state at once e.g. KILLED,FAILED.
> <task attempt ID> <container ID> <host of container> <state of container> 
> {code}
> CLI should work with running application/completed application. If a container runs many task attempts, all attempts should be shown. That will likely be the case of Tez container-reuse application.
