Jason Lowe commented on YARN-446:
---------------------------------
IMO the AM should always allow the task attempt time to exit successfully on
its own rather than sending it a kill signal that races with the normal
shutdown of the task attempt. This is very similar to the race between the AM
shutting down after unregistering with the RM and the subsequent kill being
sent by the RM which was mitigated by MAPREDUCE-4157. This would also help
eliminate the many confusing "Container killed by ApplicationMaster" messages
that are appearing in task attempt diagnostics for tasks that are otherwise
operating normally.
> Container killed before hprof dumps profile.out

> Key: YARN-446
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-446
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha
> Reporter: Radim Kolar
>
> If there is profiling enabled for mapper or reducer then hprof dumps
> profile.out at process exit. It is dumped after task signaled to AM that work
> is finished.
> AM kills container with finished work without waiting for hprof to finish
> dumps. If hprof is dumping larger outputs (such as with depth=4 while depth=3
> works) , it could not finish dump in time before being killed making entire
> dump unusable because cpu and heap stats are missing.
> There needs to be better delay before container is killed if profiling is
> enabled.
