How do you specify a yarn pool when launching an instance of es-hadoop?

I've tried every possible combination of adding sys.prop and -D parameters and nothing seems to be working.

Here's what I've tried.

hadoop jar dist/elasticsearch-yarn-2.4.0.jar -start -Dmapred.job.queue.name=mypool  
hadoop jar dist/elasticsearch-yarn-2.4.0.jar -start -Dmapreduce.job.queuename=mypool  
hadoop jar dist/elasticsearch-yarn-2.4.0.jar -start sys.prop.mapreduce.job.queuename=mypool  
hadoop jar dist/elasticsearch-yarn-2.4.0.jar -start sys.prop.mapred.job.queue.name=mypool

Had to read [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/blob/master/yarn/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/hadoop/yarn/cfg/Config.java](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/blob/master/yarn/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/hadoop/yarn/cfg/Config.java) to figure it out.

hadoop jar dist/elasticsearch-yarn-2.4.0.jar -start app.queue=mypool
