Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-4797: ------------------------------------------------ The code looks good to me. My only comment is with the test. If a different exception is thrown, that exception is eaten and it is likely to be difficult to debug the error. If you could log it some how that would be great. > LocalContainerAllocator can loop forever trying to contact the RM > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4797 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4797 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: applicationmaster > Affects Versions: 0.23.3, 2.0.1-alpha > Reporter: Jason Lowe > Assignee: Jason Lowe > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-4797.patch > > > If LocalContainerAllocator has trouble communicating with the RM it can end > up retrying forever if the nature of the error is not a YarnException. > This can be particulary bad if the connection went down because the cluster > was reset such that the RM and NM have lost track of the process and > therefore nothing else will eventually kill the process. In this scenario, > the looping AM continues to pelt the RM with connection requests every second > using a stale token, and the RM logs the SASL exceptions over and over. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
