ERROR: Container complete event for unknown container id

[#1]

What does this error means and how to fix it?

[#2]

Can you provide the container logs?

[#3]

Hi Leo, it seems that error can happen because of some miscommunication between the RM, an app's AM and one or more NMs. One scenario is described in YARN-3535, in particular in this post. How to fix it depends on what are you doing. If it's after an HDP upgrade you can try to clear affected NM recovery directories, and restart Yarn. If it happens on a particular app, then something might be wrong with app, like some configs missing, etc.

@Predrag Minovic

Have deployed the cluster with 3 data nodes. YARN/MapReduce2/HDFS version is 2.7.3 on HDP.

While running teragen and Gobblin the following Yarn errors get reported in the logs. Errors get reported only when the map tasks defined for the job less than or equals to the number of data nodes in the cluster.

For Teragen -Dmapreduce.job.maps=4

For Gobblin mr.job.max.mappers=4

There are no errors if the map tasks(splits) are <= number of data nodes.

Please let me know how to avoid these error in the YARN logs.
