Shimin Yang updated FLINK-9567:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
After restart the Job Manager in Yarn Cluster mode, Flink does not release task 
manager containers in some specific case.

In the first log I posted, the container with id 24 is the reason why Yarn did 
not release resources. Although the Task Manager in the container with id 24 
was released before restart. 

But in line 347, 

2018-06-14 22:50:47,846 WARN akka.remote.ReliableDeliverySupervisor - 
Association with remote system [akka.tcp://flink@bd-r1hdp69:30609] has failed, 
address is now gated for [50] ms. Reason: [Disassociated] 

this problem caused flink to request for one more container more than need. As 
the excessive container return id determined by the 
*numPendingContainerRequests* variable in *YarnResourceManager*, I think it's 
the *onContainersCompleted* in *YarnResourceManager* called the method 
*requestYarnContainer* which leads to the increase of 
*numPendingContainerRequests.* However, the restart logic has already allocated 
enough containers for Task Managers, Flink will possess the extra container for 
a long time for nothing. In the worst case, I had a job configured to 5 task 
managers, but possess more than 100 containers in the end.

ps: Another strange thing I found is that when sometimes request for a yarn 
container, it will return much more than requested. Is it a normal scenario for 
AMRMAsyncClient?

  was:
After restart the Job Manager in Yarn Cluster mode, Flink does not release task 
manager containers in some specific case. According to my observation, the 
reason is the instance variable *numPendingContainerRequests* in 
*YarnResourceManager* class does not decrease since it has not received the 
containers. And after restart of job manager, it will make increase the 
*numPendingContainerRequests* by the number of task executors. 

Since the callback function *onContainersAllocated* will return the excessive 
container immediately only if the *numPendingContainerRequests* <= 0, so the 
number of container grows bigger and bigger while only a few are acting as task 
manager.

I think it is important to clear the *numPendingContainerRequests* variable 
after restart the Job Manager, but not very clear at how to do that. There's no 
other way to decrease the *numPendingContainerRequests* except the 
*onContainersAllocated*. Is it fine to add a method to operate on the 
*numPendingContainerRequests* variable? And meanwhile, there's no handle of 
YarnResourceManager in the *ExecutionGraph* restart logic.

ps: Another strange thing I found is that when sometimes request for a yarn 
container, it will return much more than requested. Is it a normal scenario for 
AMRMAsyncClient?
