Reply To: Can anyone explain me how Container failure is handled for YARN MapReduce job?

Look out for yarn log directory where all logs are aggregated. you can find on hdfs location and depends on being which user you have submitted the job.
probably /user/hdfs/logs or /user/yarn/logs.

use the following command to check for errors
yarn logs -applicationId application_1406403419677_0007 -containerId container_1406403419677_007_01_00012 -nodeAddress

for listing application IDs:
yarn application -list
