If the AM is running and you kill the process (sudo kill #pid), the State in Yarn would be FINISHED and FinalStatus is UNDEFINED. The Tracking UI would say "History" and point to the proxy url (which will redirect to the history server).

The state should be more descriptive that the job failed and the tracker url shouldn't point to the history server.
