Bikas Saha commented on MAPREDUCE-4671:
---------------------------------------
I think we can assert that the value should never go below 0 because that would
mean we are trying to remove more containers than we requested, which would be
an app bug.
> AM does not tell the RM about container requests that are no longer needed

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4671
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.23.3, 2.0.0-alpha

> Say the AM wanted a container at hosts h1, h2, h3. After getting a container
> at h1 it should tell RM that it no longer needs containers at h2, h3.
> Otherwise on the RM h2, h3 remain valid allocation locations.
> The AM RMContainerAllocator does remove these resource requests internally.
> When the resource request container count drops to 0 then it drops the
> resource request from its tables but forgets to send the 0 sized request to
> the RM.
