    Description

      After YARN-3367, while testing the latest 2928 branch came across few NPEs due to which NM is shutting down.

      On analysis found that the there was delay in processing of events, as after YARN-3367 all the events were getting processed by a single thread inside the timeline client.

      Additionally found one scenario where there is possibility of NPE:

      • TimelineEntity.toString() when real is not null
