Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on YARN-966:
----------------------------------------------
bq. Potentially I don't see when we will in fact start ContainerLaunch#call
without its all resources getting downloaded.
This is the most important point.
bq. This I still see should not be done via NULL check. Proper way is to set
boolean flag of ContainerLaunch in the event of KILL synchronously.
bq. which is completely misleading.. Indeed this occurred because user killed
container not because it failed to localize resources.
I think we are beating this down to death. Like I said, this error SHOULD NOT
happen in practice. I don't know whey the assert was originally put in place.
That said, I didn't want to blindly remove it without knowing why it was there
to begin with. If ever we run into this in real life, we can fix the message.

> In ContainerImpl.getLocalizedResources(), there's:
> {code}
> assert ContainerState.LOCALIZED == getContainerState(); // TODO: FIXME!!
> {code}
> ContainerImpl.getLocalizedResources() is called in ContainerLaunch.call(),
> which is scheduled on a separate thread. If the container is not at LOCALIZED
> (e.g. it is at KILLING, see YARN-906), an AssertError will be thrown and
> fails the thread without notifying NM. Therefore, the container cannot
> receive more events, which are supposed to be sent from
> ContainerLaunch.call(), and move towards completion.
