Karthik Kambatla commented on YARN-5677:
----------------------------------------
The patch looks pretty good. Nice tests. Couple of comments on the tests though:
# Should the sleep be larger than the timeout? May be, 100 ms?
# Would it make sense to abstract out the common parts of the test?
> RM can be in active-active state for an extended period

> In trunk, there is no maximum number of retries that I see. It appears the
> connection will be retried forever, with the active never figuring out it's
> no longer active. In my testing, the active-active state lasted almost 2
> hours with no sign of stopping before I killed it. The solution appears to
> be to cap the number of retries or amount of time spent retrying.
> This issue is significant because of the asynchronous nature of job
> submission. If the active doesn't know it's not active, it will buffer up
> job submissions until it finally realizes it has become the standby. Then it
> will fail all the job submissions in bulk. In high-volume workflows, that
> behavior can create huge mass job failures.
> This issue is also important because the node managers will not fail over to
> the new active until the old active realizes it's the standby. Workloads
> submitted after the old active loses contact with ZK will therefore fail to
> be executed regardless of which RM the clients contact.
