Vivek Ratan commented on HADOOP-4513:
-------------------------------------

Yes, we need to make sure jobs are initialized asynchronously (so that 
initTasks() is not called synchronously  from within a heartbeat) and as early 
as possible (so that a job is already initialized when we consider it to run). 
We also want to have just a few number of waiting jobs initialized at any given 
time so that their memory footprint is low. I suggest we use an enhanced 
version of EagerTaskInitializationListener, so that jobs are initialized 
asynchronously in a separate thread. The difference being, we use some of the 
limits described in HADOOP-4428. We can have a limit on the total number of 
waiting jobs initialized (maybe 10 per queue), as well a limit on initialized 
jobs/user/queue (maybe 3/per/queue). The modified 
EagerTaskInitializationListener thread enforces these limits and only 
initializes jobs as necessary.

> Currently, the capacity scheduler initializes tasks on demand, as opposed to 
> the eager initialization technique used by the default scheduler. This is 
> done in order to save JT memory footprint. However, the initialization is 
> done in the {{assignTasks}} API which is not a good idea as task 
> initialization could be a time consuming operation. This JIRA is to move out 
> the initialization outside the {{assignTasks}} API and do it asynchronously.
