> 1. SlotPool will request slot to rm if its slots are not enough.
> 2. If a slot request is not fulfilled in a certain time, SlotPool will treat
> the request as timeout and send a new slot request by triggering a failover
> in JobMaster, the previous request is not needed any more, but rm does not
> know it.
> 3. This may cause the rm request much more resource than the job really need.
> For example:
> 1. A job need 100 slots. RM request 100 container to YARN.
> 2. But YARN is busy now, it has no resource for the job.
> 3. The job failover as the resource request not fulfilled in time.
> 4. It ask 100 slots again, now RM request 200 container to YARN.
> 5. If failover server time, the containers request will become more and more.
> 6. Now YARN has resource, it will find that the job may need thousands of
> containers. This is a waste of resources.
