    Description

      Regarding AMRMClientImpl

      Scenario 1:
      Given a ContainerRequest x with Resource y, when addContainerRequest is called z times with x, allocate is called and at least one of the z allocated containers is started, then if another addContainerRequest call is done and subsequently an allocate call to the RM, (z+1) containers will be allocated, where 1 container is expected.

      Scenario 2:
      No containers are started between the allocate calls.

      Analyzing debug logs of the AMRMClientImpl, I have found that indeed a (z+1) are requested in both scenarios, but that only in the second scenario, the correct behavior is observed.

      Looking at the implementation I have found that this (z+1) request is caused by the structure of the remoteRequestsTable. The consequence of Map<Resource, ResourceRequestInfo> is that ResourceRequestInfo does not hold any information about whether a request has been sent to the RM yet or not.

      There are workarounds for this, such as releasing the excess containers received.

      The solution implemented is to initialize a new ResourceRequest in ResourceRequestInfo when a request has been successfully sent to the RM.

      The patch includes a test in which scenario one is tested.
