Description

For certain applications, it doesn't make sense to have SUCCEEDED or FAILED end state. For example, Tez sessions may include multiple DAGs, some of which have succeeded and some have failed; there's no clear status for the session both logically and from user perspective (users are confused either way).
There needs to be a status not implying success or failure, such as "done"/"ended"/"finished".
