Description

With the current behavior is impossible to determine if a container has been preempted or lost due to a NM crash.

Adding a PREEMPTED exit status (-102) will help an AM determine that a container has been preempted.

Note the change of scope from the original summary/description. The original scope proposed API/behavior changes. Because we are passed 2.1.0-beta I'm reducing the scope of this JIRA.
