Description

Report of the RM raising a stack trace https://gist.github.com/matyix/9596735 during AM-initiated shutdown. The AM could just swallow this and exit, but it could be a sign of a race condition YARN-side, or maybe just in the RM client code/AM dual signalling the shutdown.

I haven't replicated this myself; maybe the stack will help track down the problem. Otherwise: what is the policy YARN apps should adopt for AM's handling errors on shutdown? go straight to an exit(-1)?
