ROOT CAUSE: The issue is with corrupted SST's in the app timeline db path.

RESOLUTION: Navigate to /hadoop/yarn/timeline/leveldb-timeline-store.ldb

From there you will see a text file named "CURRENT" Please back this file up in /tmp and then remove the file as such: cp /hadoop/yarn/timeline/leveldb-timeline-store.ldb/CURRENT /tmp rm /hadoop/yarn/timeline/leveldb-timeline-store.ldb/CURRENT Restart the service via Ambari
