Description

AMLauncher calls startContainers(allRequests) to launch a container for application master. Normally, the call comes back immediately so that the RMAppAttempt changes its state from ALLOCATED to LAUNCHED.

However, we do observed that in some cases, the RPC call came back very late but the AM container was already started. Because the RMAppAttempt stuck in ALLOCATED state, once resource manager received the REGISTERED event from the application master, it threw InvalidStateTransitonException as follows.

For subsequent STATUS_UPDATE and CONTAINER_ALLOCATED events for this job, resource manager kept throwing InvalidStateTransitonException.
