Description
NMTokenCache is a singleton. Because of this, if running multiple AMs in a single JVM NMTokens for the same node from different AMs step on each other and starting containers fail due to mismatch tokens.
The error observed in the client side is something like:
ERROR org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation: PriviledgedActionException as:llama (auth:PROXY) via llama (auth:SIMPLE) cause:org.apache.hadoop.yarn.exceptions.YarnException: Unauthorized request to start container. NMToken for application attempt : appattempt_1382038445650_0002_000001 was used for starting container with container token issued for application attempt : appattempt_1382038445650_0001_000001
