Thanks [~jlowe] for your opinion!
Adding [~wilfreds] and [~haibochen] as they are more experienced in FS config than me.

> If the default queue placement rule is defined with {{create="false"}} and a scheduling request is created for queue {{"root.default"}}, then {{FairScheduler#assignToQueue}} throws an NPE, while trying to construct an error message in the catch block of {{IllegalStateException}}, relying on the fact that the {{rmApp}} is not null but it is.
> Example of such a config file:
> {code:java}
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <allocations>
> <queue name="parentq" type="parent">
> <minResources>1024mb,0vcores</minResources>
> </queue>
> <queuePlacementPolicy>
> <rule name="default" create="false"/>
> </queuePlacementPolicy>
> </allocations>
> {code}
> This is suspicious, as there are some null checks for {{rmApp}} in the same method.
> Not sure if this is a special case for the tests or it is reproducable in a cluster, this needs further investigation.
> In any case, it's not good that we try to dereference the {{rmApp}} that is null.
> On the other hand, I'm not sure if the default queue placement rule with {{create="false"}} makes sense at all. Looking at the documentation ([https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.1.0/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/FairScheduler.html):]
> {quote}default: the app is placed into the queue specified in the ‘queue’ attribute of the default rule. *If ‘queue’ attribute is not specified, the app is placed into ‘root.default’ queue.*
> A queuePlacementPolicy element: which contains a list of rule elements that tell the scheduler how to place incoming apps into queues. Rules are applied in the order that they are listed. Rules may take arguments. *All rules accept the “create” argument, which indicates whether the rule can create a new queue. “Create” defaults to true; if set to false and the rule would place the app in a queue that is not configured in the allocations file, we continue on to the next rule.* The last rule must be one that can never issue a continue....
> {quote}
> In this case, the rule has the queue property suppressed so the apps should be placed to the {{root.default}} queue (which is an undefined queue according to the config file), and create is false, meaning that the queue {{root.default}} cannot be created at all.
> *This seems to be a case of an invalid queue configuration file for me.*
> [~jlowe], [~leftnoteasy]: What is your take on this?
