NMClientAsync will only do a call-back when it is explicitly asked to stop a 
container. It doesn't track exit of all running containers that it knows of. It 
could, logically, but doesn't because of Hadoop RPC limitations.

You should in most cases be relying on the notification from AMRMClientAsync.
