From my testing on trunk, I notice that even for the case where the AM goes over container limits (which I trigger with -Dyarn.app.mapreduce.am.resource.mb=512 -Dyarn.app.mapreduce.am.command-opts="-Xmx3500m" on a sleep job), sometimes the error is propagated back and sometimes its not. Can you please corroborate this? When State == FinalState == FAILED, the error is propagated back. However about half the times, State == FINISHED and FinalState == KILLED, in which case there is no message anywhere to help me. Not in the diagnostics, and there are no logs. > If AM fails due to overrunning resource limits, error not visible through UI > sometimes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3949 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3949 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.24.0, 0.23.2 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Ravi Prakash > Priority: Minor > > I had a case where an MR AM eclipsed the configured memory limit.
