Yiping Han commented on HADOOP-5187:
------------------------------------

Regarding distribution of excess capacity. Should we have a priority mode 
between queues. Say, queues are given priorities, so when there are excess 
capacity, they are given to the queues with highest priority first.

I agree with Vinod, this should be made pluggable.

> Provide an option to turn off priorities in jobs

> The fairshare scheduler can define pools mapping to queues (as defined in the 
> capacity scheduler - HADOOP-3445). When used in this manner, one can imagine 
> queues set up to be used by users who come from disparate teams or 
> organizations (say a default queue). For such a queue, it makes sense to 
> ignore job priorities and consider the queue as strict FIFO, as it is 
> difficult to compare priorities of jobs from different users.
