Ok, I thought there was some communication from the container to the AM, it 
sounds like you're saying it's in the other direction only?  Don't containers 
heartbeat to the AM?  Regardless, even if we can't get a better address for the 
AM from YARN, we could at least filter the addresses we get back from the JVM 
to exclude loopbacks.

Hi Tommy,
Yi is right. Container start is coordinated by the AppMaster using an
NMClient. Container host name and port is provided by the RM during
allocation.
In Yarn (at least, afaik), when the node joins a cluster, the NM registers
itself with the RM. So, the NM might still be using
getLocalhost.getAddress().

I don't know of any other way to programmatically fetch the machine's
hostname (apart from some hacky shell commands).

Cheers,
Navina
