These tests fail with messages of the form: {code} [Node Status Updater] nodemanager.NodeStatusUpdaterImpl (NodeStatusUpdaterImpl.java:getNodeStatus(254)) - Sending out status for container: container_id {, app_attempt_id {, application_id {, id: 1, cluster_timestamp: 1330401645767, }, attemptId: 1, }, id: 1, }, state: C_RUNNING, diagnostics: "Container [pid=16750,containerID=container_1330401645767_0001_01_000001] is running beyond virtual memory limits. Current usage: 220.5mb of 2.0gb physical memory used; 7.1gb of 4.2gb virtual memory used.
