> It can be frustrating for users when run-app.sh returns success before the 
> job was fully running.
> This happens because the JobRunner currently waits for JobStatus=RUNNING, but 
> in Yarn for example, that happens when the AM is launched, not when all the 
> containers are launched.
> What can go wrong?
> 1. The job could stay stuck waiting for containers that it cant get because 
> of capacity issues or an outage.
> 2. The job containers may immediately fail due to a runtime error.
> In both cases, the user may go on their merry way because run-app.sh returned 
> successfully, even though the job is already dead. They may not get alerted 
> for some time.
> How do we fix?
> There are a few ways to fix it. Each one progressively harder but 
> progressively better:
> 1. Make JobRunner reach out to AM and monitor the needed containers metric 
> until it reaches 0
> 2. Expose a new healthy endpoint in the AM which is only set to true when a 
> heartbeat has been received from each of the containers. Have the JobRunner 
> wait on this (with a timeout)
> 3. Expose a hook where users can write custom logic to determine job health
> I think #1 is the most bang for buck and the implementation for #1 can easily 
> be extended for #2 later.
> Other notes:
> I don't think this is needed for standalone, since users are directly 
> deploying the processors and can monitor the processes directly.
