Review Comment:
   Not sure if we should have some sort of timeout in case the API takes a long 
time to respond. Currently this a blocking call and I wonder if this call fails 
we could block containers from being allocated in the YarnService (leading to 
starvation).
   
   But adding a timeout adds a potential bug / risk where we timeout and then 
helix starts purging instances while we are allocating new instances (bad bug 
with nondeterministic behavior)
