Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on YARN-873: ---------------------------------------------- bq. Would be good to make the behavior consistent. Its ok to throw the same exception in the server for both cases. +1, let's not add null-checks for clients. Similar to FileNotFoundException, we should have an ApplicationNotFoundException or a UnknownApplicationException which clients can cleanly handle. And +1 for making getAppReport()/killApp() all using the same exception. > 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.
