   There is something about storing the health state in ContainerInfo that 
doesn't feel correct to me. The state is captured at a point in time and then 
its stale soon afterwards. It doesn't get updated until the next run of RM. The 
thing about the report object, was that it captured the stats of a complete run 
of RM, but in the new way, the container infos get changed as RM runs. I guess 
it should be pretty fast, but it could lead to kind of unstable numbers.
   
   I cannot really come up with a concrete reason as to why I think using 
container Info for this is wrong, aside from it only being updated by RM with 
its periodic runs. Perhaps I am over thinking it and its fine.
   
   I think there are also some places that use RM in a read only mode to check 
container states (decommission maybe), so that may update the containerInfo 
states between RM runs. I am not sure if that is a problem or not. Probably not 
as it can only make the state more current.
   
   Aside from the above scanning the PR quickly, the thing I am not sure about 
is multiplying up the states - like under_replicated, 
unhealthy_under_replicate, qc_under_replicated ... It leads to a lot more 
states that may just be more confusing than helpful.
   
   In the RM report, we tried to only have a container in a single state, but 
it can be unhealthy and under / over replicated. It can be missing and 
under-replicated I think. Missing is kind of an extreme version of 
under-replicated. The only way to capture these "double states" with a single 
field is to multiple up the states I guess.
