             Summary: Add retry-times to let NM re-launch container when it fails to run
                 Key: YARN-3998
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3998
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jun Gong
            Assignee: Jun Gong


I'd like to add a field(retry-times) in ContainerLaunchContext. When AM launches containers, it could specify the value. Then NM will re-launch the container 'retry-times' times when it fails to run(e.g.exit code is not 0). 

It will save a lot of time. It avoids container localization. RM does not need to re-schedule the container. And local files in container's working directory will be left for re-use.(If container have downloaded some big files, it does not need to re-download them when running again.) 

We find it is useful in systems like Storm.
