This document provides an overview of YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) in Hadoop 2.0. It discusses:
1) How YARN improves on Hadoop 1.X by allowing multiple applications to share cluster resources and enabling new types of applications beyond just MapReduce. YARN serves as the cluster resource manager.
2) Key YARN concepts like applications, containers, the resource manager, node manager, and application master. Containers are the basic unit of allocation that replace static map and reduce slots.
3) How MapReduce runs on YARN by using an application master and negotiating containers from the resource manager, rather than being tied to static slots. This improves efficiency.
