Description

I saw a case where containers were stuck on a nodemanager in the NEW state because they tried to launch just as an application was tearing down. The container sent an INIT_CONTAINER event to the ApplicationImpl which then executed an invalid transition since that event is not handled/expected when the application is in the process of tearing down.
