+
+ * Num Active Applications - The number of applications in the queue that have
+   received at least one container.
+ 
+ * Num Pending Applications - The number of applications in the queue that have
+   not yet received any containers.
+
+ * Min Resources - The configured minimum resources that are guaranteed to the queue.
+  	
+ * Max Resources - The configured maximum resources that are allowed to the queue.
+ 
+ * Fair Share - The queue's fair share of resources.  Queues may be allocated
+   resources beyond their fair share when other queues aren't using them.  A
+   queue whose resource consumption lies at or below its fair share will never
+   have its containers preempted.  
+
+  In addition to the information that the ResourceManager normally displays
+  about each application, the web interface includes the application's fair share.
