Steve Loughran commented on YARN-1489:
--------------------------------------
Actually, the simplest way for an AM to work with a restarted cluster would be
if there was a blocking operation to list active containers. At startup it
could get that list and use it to init its data structures -on a first start
the list would be empty.
Alternatively, the restart information could be passed down in
{{RegisterApplicationMasterResponse}} -which would avoid adding any new RPC
calls

> Key: YARN-1489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1489
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli
> Assignee: Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli
> Attachments: Work preserving AM restart.pdf
>
>
> Today if AMs go down,
> - RM kills all the containers of that ApplicationAttempt
> - New ApplicationAttempt doesn't know where the previous containers are
> running
> - Old running containers don't know where the new AM is running.
> We need to fix this to enable work-preserving AM restart. The later two
> potentially can be done at the app level, but it is good to have a common
> solution for all apps where-ever possible.
