Failed to connect to server: :8032: retries get failed due to exceeded maximum allowed retries number: 0

[#1]

PROBLEM:

We see below message on initial runs:

2017-02-28 19:37:48,681 INFO [main] impl.TimelineClientImpl: Timeline service address: http://<timeline-server-hostname>:8188/ws/v1/timeline/ 
2017-02-28 19:37:48,823 INFO [main] client.AHSProxy: Connecting to Application History server at <history-server-hostname>/<history-server-ip>:10200

ROOT CAUSE:

In Yarn configs -> custom yarn-site.xml, you might have configuration for rm1 as resource-manager-A. This is the reason first attempt to connect was made to this server and then got connection refused. Then it goes to active resource manager which is resource-manager-B. This warning is not seen when resource-manager-A is active, because the property rm1 pointing to this server, first connect attempt is successful. First connection attempt is always made to the resource manager which is specified in rm1.

RESOLUTION:

This warning cannot be suppressed as of now. There is a jira open to change the logging: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6145
