Xuan Gong commented on YARN-2074:
---------------------------------

Comments:
1. {code}
    RMAppAttempt attempt =
        new RMAppAttemptImpl(appAttemptId, rmContext, scheduler, masterService,
          submissionContext, conf, maxAppAttempts <= attempts.size());
{code}
Use this condition to decide whether this RMAppAttempt is isLastAttempt, does 
not sound right to me. 
For example, we set the maxAppAttempts as 3, but previous 2 AM is preempted, 
based on the condition you set here, the next RMAppAttempt is the lastAttempt 
?? If this Attempt is failed, the whole application will be marked as failure. 

2. {code}
  public boolean isPreempted() {
    return getDiagnostics().contains(SchedulerUtils.PREEMPTED_CONTAINER);
  }
{code}
It is fine to use this to check  isPreempted. But, link 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-614, basically, this ticket is 
saying we should separate hardware failures or YARN issues from AM failure, and 
do not count them as AM failure. I think that the Preemption of AM is one of 
them. So, maybe we could use a more general way to check whether the AM is 
isPreempted, (check ContainerExitStatus instead ?)

> One orthogonal concern with issues like YARN-2055 and YARN-2022 is that AM 
> containers getting preempted shouldn't count towards AM failures and thus 
> shouldn't eventually fail applications.
> We should explicitly handle AM container preemption/kill as a separate issue 
> and not count it towards the limit on AM failures.
