Xuan Gong commented on YARN-873: -------------------------------- Throwing Exceptions may not be a good option. If we throw an exception out, the clients may think there is a problem about this command, but actually this command works fine. Probably, we can output something like "This appId is not exist. Please use command yarn application -list to get all application information" > YARNClient.getApplicationReport(unknownAppId) returns a null report > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-873 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-873 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta > Reporter: Bikas Saha > Assignee: Xuan Gong > > How can the client find out that app does not exist? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
