>From the fairscheduler docs I assume the following should work:
<property>
<name>mapred.fairscheduler.poolnameproperty</name>
<value>pool.name</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>pool.name</name>
<value>${mapreduce.job.group.name}</value>
</property>
which means that the default pool will be the group of the user that has
submitted the job. In your case I think that allocations.xml is correct. If
you want to explicitly define a job to specific pool from your
allocation.xml file you can define it as follows:
Configuration conf3 = conf;
conf3.set("pool.name", "pool3"); // conf.set(propriety.name, value)
Let me know if it works..
