Daryn Sharp commented on YARN-1915:
-----------------------------------
I suspect it's because it removes the burden from the AM to strip the secret
from the credentials so it doesn't leak to other processes.
> ClientToAMTokenMasterKey should be provided to AM at launch time

> Currently, the AM receives the key as part of registration. This introduces a
> race where a client can connect to the AM when the AM has not received the
> key.
> Current Flow:
> 1) AM needs to start the client listening service in order to get host:port
> and send it to the RM as part of registration
> 2) RM gets the port info in register() and transitions the app to RUNNING.
> Responds back with client secret to AM.
> 3) User asks RM for client token. Gets it and pings the AM. AM hasn't
> received client secret from RM and so RPC itself rejects the request.
