Allow MR AppMaster to limit ephemeral port range.
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-4079
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4079
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: mr-am, mrv2
    Affects Versions: 0.23.2, 2.0.0
            Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans
            Assignee: Robert Joseph Evans
            Priority: Blocker


Having the MapReduce Application Masters bind to any ephemeral port makes it very difficult to setup ACLs.  mapreduce.job.am-access-disabled from MAPREDUCE-3251 is not a practical permanent solution for all jobs.  Especially for tools like pig where they are not aware of mapreduce.job.am-access-disabled and may deal with it properly.

We should add in a config option that would allow someone to restrict the range of ports that the MR-AM can bind to.  It will slow down startup in some cases because we will have to probe for open ports instead of just asking the OS to find one for us.  But we can make that conditional on this config so users who do not set this config do not see any performance degradation.
