RE: Getting error message from AM container launch

[John Lilley]

We do have a fairly long container command-line.  Not huge, around 200 
characters.

Subject: Getting error message from AM container launch

Running a non-MapReduce YARN application, one of the containers launched by the 
AM is failing with an error message I've never seen.  Any ideas?  I'm not sure 
who exactly is running "nice" or why its argument list would be too long.
Thanks
