> Current YARN blacklist mechanism is to track the bad nodes by AM: If AM tried to launch containers on a specific node get failed for several times, AM will blacklist this node in future resource asking. This mechanism works fine for normal containers. However, from our observation on behaviors of several clusters: if this problematic node launch AM failed, then RM could pickup this problematic node to launch next AM attempts again and again that cause application failure in case other functional nodes are busy. In normal case, the customized healthy checker script cannot be so sensitive to mark node as unhealthy when one or two containers get launched failed. However, in RM side, we can blacklist these nodes for launching AM for a certain time if launching AMs get failed before.
