Jason Lowe commented on YARN-4142:
----------------------------------
The idea here is to allow applications to update their diagnostics without
failing the entire application. Currently the only way the app attempt can
update its diagnostics is when it unregisters, and that necessarily means the
app is completely done with no further attempts. There either needs to be a
way to update diagnostics via the allocate heartbeat or the ability for
application attempts to unregister without terminating the overall application.
> add a way for an attempt to report an attempt failure

> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: api
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran

> Currently AMs can report a failure with exit code and diagnostics text —but
> only when exiting to a failed state. If the AM terminates for any other
> reason there's no information held in the RM, just the logs somewhere —and we
> know they don't always last.
> When an application explicitly terminates an attempt, it would be nice if it
> could optionally report something to the RM before it exited. The most
> recent set of these could then be included in Application Reports, so
> allowing client apps to count attempt failures and get exit details.
