Container launch issue on secure cluster

[Jon Maron <jm...@hortonworks.com>]

Hi,

  I’m trying to get slider working on a secure cluster launched on vagrant VMs.  I’ve iterated through a slew of issues and am now at a point where the app master is attempting to launch the containers fro my app, but I’m running into the following exception (w/o much other information):

14/07/18 15:36:28 INFO impl.NMClientAsyncImpl: Processing Event EventType: START_CONTAINER for Container container_1405697685141_0001_01_000006

  Anyone have a sense of what may be wrong with my setup?  Thanks!
