Description

When otherinfo field gets updated, in some cases the data returned for an entity is dependent on the filter usage.

for ex in the attached files for the

• entity: "vertex_1421164610335_0020_1_01",
• entitytype: "TEZ_VERTEX_ID",

for the otherinfo.numTasks, got updated from 1009 to 253

• using

  http://machine:8188/ws/v1/timeline/TEZ_VERTEX_ID/vertex_1421164610335_0020_1_01/ 

  gives the updated value: 253

• using

  http://cn042-10:8188/ws/v1/timeline/TEZ_VERTEX_ID?limit=11&primaryFilter=TEZ_DAG_ID%3Adag_1421164610335_0020_1

  gives the old value: 1009

for the otherinfo.status field, which gets updated, both of them show the updated value.
