> Make app master recover history from latest history file that exists

> Key: MAPREDUCE-7183
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-7183
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: applicationmaster
> Reporter: Mikayla Konst
> Assignee: Mikayla Konst

>
> When running a mapreduce job, when the original app master is killed, the new
> app master normally attempts to recover by reading the jhist file that was
> written by the app master from the previous app attempt (e.g. current app
> attempt - 1).
> This is usually fine, but is a problem in the following situation:
> # App master 1 writes history to jobid_1.jhist, then is killed
> # App master 2 starts up but is killed before it has the chance to write any
> history to jobid_2.jhist
> # App master 3 attempts to recover, but it can't find jobid_2.jhist, so all
> job progress is lost.
> This problem manifests as "Unable to parse prior job history, aborting
> recovery" and "Could not parse the old history file. Will not have old
> AMinfos" errors, all job progress being lost, and previous app attempts not
> showing up in the job history UI.
> To fix this problem, if jobid_2.jhist is missing, app master 3 should just
> recover using the history in jobid_1.jhist.
