I have spend almost a day try to figure out what's wrong with the hive llap in HDP 3.0.
Have verified that the llap is running and no errors. I have tweaked the llap config so that it wouldn't have any resource allocation issue.
Looks like some kind of config issue, as the the service is not able to verify that the llap app is running.
BTW, I have another environment with exact same spec's and nodes using HDP 2.6.x and everything is working fine.
Looks like there is a defect in HDP 3.0/Ambari 2.7.0.0
