To work around this. I added on my salt-master under /srv/salt/hadoop/conf/yarn/capacity-scheduler.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>

<configuration>
<property>
     <name>yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.queues</name>

This is the minimum configuration in capacity-scheduler.xml that could get it working with:

<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.queues</name>
    <value>default</value>
    <description>
      The queues at the this level (root is the root queue).
    </description>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.default.capacity</name>
    <value>100</value>
    <description>Default queue target capacity.</description>
  </property>
</configuration>

This was reduced from a config on an apache site
