What does state transition RUNNING --> ACCEPTED mean?

sumit.nigam — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 09:36:03 GMT

I notice in RM logs that sometime my application transitions back from RUNNING to ACCEPTED state. Under what conditions would this happen? I thought this usually happens whenever RM or AM dies and recovers the applications. Such apps would transition from RUNNING --> ACCEPTED. Is that correct?

However, in my case both RM and NM recovery is disabled:

yarn.resourcemanager.recovery.enabled = false

yarn.nodemanager.recovery.enabled = false

Thanks,

Sumit

Recovery features deal with restarts of the service (RM or NM). An AM
attempt is a separate feature that, like container retries in MR, is a
regular runtime feature.

Do you see your application ID attempt multiple AMs in the RM UI page for
it? Do the RM logs indicate any form of kill or fail for the first
'appattempt' of the AM ID?

Hi Harsh - You are right, there is a prior attempt which got killed. Here are some log snippets as you asked:

Attempt 1 - app becomes RUNNING

2015-07-24 14:20:40,980 INFO org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.resourcemanager.rmapp.attempt.RMAppAttemptImpl: appattempt_1437726395811_0010_000001 State change from LAUNCHED to RUNNING

Thanks, that'd explain your transition. What application is this? Is it an
MR2 application, Spark app, or something custom?

Hbase on Yarn.

On a side note:

1. Is there a reason for security token to just fail like that after 15 mins of trying? Or I have some setup problem? That seems to be the first reason for attempt one to be killed.

2. The last line about null container - I see it often. Is that a bug? And can that be ignored?

Thanks,

Sumit

On point 1, I think I am getting hit by

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3103

Re: What does state transition RUNNING --> ACCEPTED mean

The null container log entry that was shown in the earlier message is a code issue which has been fixed in an upcoming release. We printed the worng reference for the container and it would always be a null.

For the state changes:they are correct after we fail the application and we have not exhausted the AM retries it will be pushed back into the queue for scheduling which means the app goes into an ACCEPTED state.

For YARN-3103 you will not see that issue if you are running CDH 5.4 it is part of that release, if you run an earlier version please upgrade.

When the first attempt fails, it tries to run again the app. So the status changes from "running" to "accepted". If you check the RM webUI you could see several attempts were run.
