You would probably need to bake this into your own application. By default, a client never should need to keep an open active connection with the RM. It could keep an active connection with the AM ( application-specific code required ) but it would then also have to handle failover to a different AM if the first AM crashes and a new attempt is launched by the RM.
Does your application have access to a zookeeper cluster within your installation? It would be simple enough for someone to build a library which either uses an ephemeral node or updates some form of an applicationId specific keep-alive flag that the AM can monitor to make its decisions. @Vinod, on a different note, does it make sense for the RM to run an embedded ZK to aid fencing across multiple AM attempts which could then be used by the above to piggyback on? -- Hitesh On Jan 13, 2014, at 8:30 AM, Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli wrote: > The architecture is built around detachable clients.
