> FairScheduler: potential livelock due to maxAMShare limitation and container 
> reservation.
> If a node is reserved by an application, all the other applications don't 
> have any chance to assign a new container on this node, unless the 
> application which reserves the node assigns a new container on this node or 
> releases the reserved container on this node.
> The problem is if an application tries to call assignReservedContainer and 
> fail to get a new container due to maxAMShare limitation, it will block all 
> other applications to use the nodes it reserves. If all other running 
> applications can't release their AM containers due to being blocked by these 
> reserved containers. A livelock situation can happen.
> The following is the code at FSAppAttempt#assignContainer which can cause 
> this potential livelock.
> {code}
>     // Check the AM resource usage for the leaf queue
>     if (!isAmRunning() && !getUnmanagedAM()) {
>       List<ResourceRequest> ask = appSchedulingInfo.getAllResourceRequests();
>       if (ask.isEmpty() || !getQueue().canRunAppAM(
>           ask.get(0).getCapability())) {
>         if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
>           LOG.debug("Skipping allocation because maxAMShare limit would " +
>               "be exceeded");
>         }
>         return Resources.none();
>       }
>     }
> {code}
> To fix this issue, we can unreserve the node if we can't allocate the AM 
> container on the node due to Max AM share limitation and the node is reserved 
> by the application.
