Description

Job notification callback is not sent if the initialization of AM fails. This makes sense as the the AM is responsible for callbacks, and in case of AM init failure there is no way to send that callback. This would also be the case when AM fails for reasons such as OOM etc.

A few possible solutions have been discussed. Here is a link to the discussion on the mailing list http://search-hadoop.com/m/f8suV1M6SFN
