> HiveServer2 optionally maintains a pool of AMs in either Tez or LLAP mode.
> This is done to amortize the cost of launching a Tez session.
> We also try in a shutdown hook to kill all these AMs when HS2 goes down.
> However, there are cases where HS2 doesn't get the chance to kill these AMs
> before it goes away. As a result these zombie AMs hang around until the
> timeout kicks in.
> The trouble with the timeout is that we have to set it fairly high. Otherwise
> the benefit of having pre-launched AMs obviously goes away (in a lightly
> loaded cluster).
> So, if people kill/restart HS2 they often times run into situations where the
> cluster/queue doesn't have any more capacity for AMs. They either have to
> manually kill the zombies or wait.
> The request is therefore for Tez to maintain a heartbeat to the client. If
> the client goes away the AM should exit. That way we can keep the AMs alive
> for a long time regardless of activity and at the same time don't have to
> worry about them if HS2 goes down.
