Fix the 'cluster drain' problem in the Capacity Scheduler wrt High RAM Jobs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5964 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5964 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Bug Components: contrib/capacity-sched Affects Versions: 0.20.0 Reporter: Arun C Murthy Fix For: 0.21.0 When a HighRAMJob turns up at the head of the queue, the current implementation of support for HighRAMJobs in the Capacity Scheduler has problem in that the scheduler stops assigning tasks to all TaskTrackers in the cluster until a HighRAMJob finds a suitable TaskTrackers for all its tasks. This causes a severe utilization problem since effectively no new tasks are allowed to run until the HighRAMJob (at the head of the queue) gets slots. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
