Answer 1

Please use this in yarn-site.xml; when you set the framework to use as yarn, it starts to look for these values.
<configuration>
<property>
<name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
<value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.mapreduce_shuffle.class</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ShuffleHandler</value>
</property>
</configuration>

Answer 2

When you set the framework to use as yarn, it starts to look for these values. I was facing same error for Java Map reduce. When i set configuration as following :
Configuration conf = new Configuration();
conf.set("mapreduce.framework.name", "yarn");

I resolved it by setting following:
<configuration>
<!-- Site specific YARN configuration properties -->
<property>
<name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
<value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.mapreduce_shuffle.class</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ShuffleHandler</value>
</property>
</configuration>
