> Today if an AM crashes, we have to dig through logs - very cumbersome. It is good to have client print some reason for
> AM crash. Various possible reasons for AM crash:
>  (1) AM container failed during localization itself.
>  (2) AM container launched but failed before properly starting, for e.g. due to classpath issues
>  (3) AM failed after starting properly.
>  (4) an AM is expired and killed by the RM
> Potential fixes:
>  - For (1) and (2) the client should obtain the container-status, container diagnostics and exit code.
>  - For (3), the AM should set some kind of reason for failure during its heartbeat to RM and the client should obtain
> the same from RM.
