Description

In our cluster, nodemanagere recovery is turn on, and we use LinuxConainer with docker mode.
Container may be failed when nodemanager restart, exception is below:

I guess the proccess is done, but 2 seconde later( the variable is msecLeft), the *.pid.exitcode wasn't created. Then I changed variable to 20000ms, The container is succeed when nodemanger is restart.
So I think it is too short for docker container to complete the work.

In docker mode of LinuxContainer, nm monitor the real task which is launched by "docker run" command. Then "docker wait" command will wait for exitcode, then "docker rm" will delete the docker container. Lastly, container-executor will write the exit code. So if some docker command is slow enough, nm wouldn't monitor the container. In fact, docker rm is always slow.

I think the exit code of docker rm dosen't matter with the real task, so I think we could move the operation of write "*.pid.exitcode" before the command of docker rm. Or monitor the docker wait proccess, but not the real task.
