Description

When containers run beyond memory limits, they are killed without logging any useful message. Diagnostics message reads "Task attemptID failed 0 times" and the console output reads "INFO mapreduce.Job: Job jobID failed with state KILLED due to:" which are both not useful. This message has to be improved.
