[jira] [Created] (YARN-1630) Unbounded waiting for response in YarnClientImpl.java causes thread to hang forever

Aditya Acharya created YARN-1630:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Unbounded waiting for response in YarnClientImpl.java causes thread to hang forever
                 Key: YARN-1630
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1630
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Aditya Acharya
            Assignee: Aditya Acharya
         Attachments: diff.txt

I ran an MR2 application that would have been long running, and killed it programmatically using a YarnClient. The app was killed, but the client hung forever. The message that I saw, which spammed the logs, was "Watiting for application application_1389036507624_0018 to be killed."

The RM log indicated that the app had indeed transitioned from RUNNING to KILLED, but for some reason future responses to the RPC to kill the application did not indicate that the app had been terminated.

I tracked this down to YarnClientImpl.java, and though I was unable to reproduce the bug, I wrote a patch to introduce a bound on the number of times that YarnClientImpl retries the RPC before giving up.
