Zhijie Shen commented on YARN-873: ---------------------------------- bq. Null report can be unclear as to what happened. IMHO, null is a reasonable indicator of unknown AppId (e.g. null is returned if Java Map contains no mapping for a key), unless it implies more than one cases. Checked the code, and found null is just returned when the RMApp is not found in rmContext, such that it indicates a unique case. > 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.
