             Summary: Need to support timeout of AM When no containers are 
assigned to it for a defined period
                 Key: YARN-2487
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2487
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: resourcemanager
            Reporter: Naganarasimha G R
            Assignee: Naganarasimha G R


 There are some scenarios where AM will not get containers and indefinetely 
waiting. We faced one such sceanrio which makes the applications to get hung : 
Consider a cluster setup which has 2 NMS of each 8GB resource,
And 2 applications are launched in the default queue where in each AM is taking 
2 GB each.
Each AM is placed in each of the NM. Now each AM is requesting for container of 
7Gb  mem resource .
As in each NM only 6GB resource is available both the applications are hung 
forever.

To avoid such scenarios i would to propose 
generic timeout feature for all AM's @ the yarn side such that if no containers 
are assigned for an application for a defined period than yarn can timeout the 
application attempt.
Default can be set to 0 where in RM will not timeout the app attempt and user 
can set his own timeout when he submits the application
