Description

App submission involves
1) creating appId
2) using that appId to submit an ApplicationSubmissionContext to the user.
The client may have obtained an appId from an RM, the RM may have failed over, and the client may submit the app to the new RM.
Since the new RM has a different notion of cluster timestamp (used to create app id) the new RM may reject the app submission resulting in unexpected failure on the client side.

The same may happen for other 2 step client API operations.
