How can I set the fair scheduler such that all jobs submitted from a particular user group go to a pool with the group name?
I have setup fair scheduler and I have two users: A and B (belonging to the user group hadoop) When these users submit hadoop jobs, the jobs from A got to a pool named A and the jobs from B go to a pool named B. I want them to go to a pool with their group name, So I tried adding the following to mapred-site.xml: <property> <name>mapred.fairscheduler.poolnameproperty</name> <value>group.name</value> </property> But instead the jobs now go to the default pool. I want the jobs submitted by A and B to go to the pool named "hadoop". How do I do that? also how can I explicity set a job to any specified pool? I have set the allocation file (fair-scheduler.xml) like this: <allocations> <pool name="hadoop"> <minMaps>1</minMaps> <minReduces>1</minReduces> <maxMaps>3</maxMaps> <maxReduces>3</maxReduces> </pool> <userMaxJobsDefault>5</userMaxJobsDefault> </allocations> Any help is greatly appreciated.
