[cdh-user] Re: Intermittent Error Starting ApplicationMaster on CDH 5.2.0

In case anyone comes across this, I have not found the root cause of this issue, but it has not happened on CDH 5.3.

I am seeing an intermittent error starting the ApplicationMaster when launching a map reduce job in CDH 5.2.0.  It happens pretty infrequently, maybe once a week, but not on any consistent schedule.  I cannot intentionally reproduce it and have not been able to find any pattern behind occurrences of the error.  However, if I re-run the failed job immediately after seeing this error, it will run successfully without any changes.

Has anyone encountered this before?

This is the stack trace I get:
