Description

Noticed that during HA tests some tests took over 3 hours to run when the test failed.
Looking at the logs i see the application made no progress for a very long time. However if i look at application log from yarn it actually ran in 5 mins
I am seeing same behavior when RM was being restarted in the background and when both RM and AM were being restarted. This does not happen for all applications but a few will hit this in the nightly run.
