+=== Notes on developing a batch partitioned app for the Yarn platform
+
+* When deploying partitioned apps on the Yarn platform be sure use the following dependency for the
+Spring Cloud Yarn Deployer:
+```
+		<dependency>
+			<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
+			<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-deployer-yarn</artifactId>
+		</dependency>
+```
+* Also add the following property to your application.properties: `spring.yarn.container.keepContextAlive=false`.
+* When setting up environment variables for the partitions in the PartitionHandler it is recommended that you do not
+copy the current working environment properties.
