Matei Zaharia commented on HADOOP-5186:
---------------------------------------
Both suggestions make a lot of sense. So, to clarify, would the logic look like
this?
- For each pool, initialize and schedule at least its maxRunningJobs number of
jobs.
- If all tasks from all initialized jobs in the pool are running, then
initialize further jobs.
> Improve limit handling in fairshare scheduler

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5186
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: contrib/fair-share
> Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala
> Priority: Minor
>
> The fairshare scheduler has a way by which it can limit the number of jobs in
> a pool by setting the maxRunningJobs parameter in its allocations definition.
> This limit is treated as a hard limit, and comes into effect even if the
> cluster is free to run more jobs, resulting in underutilization. Possibly the
> same thing happens with the parameter maxRunningJobs for user and
> userMaxJobsDefault. It may help to treat these as a soft limit and run
> additional jobs to keep the cluster fully utilized.
