Matei Zaharia commented on HADOOP-5186: --------------------------------------- A note on progress for this issue: I have a tested patch that removes deficits and also adds support for FIFO pools (but not yet lazy job init as discussed here). However, I am waiting for HADOOP-4665 and HADOOP-4667 to be committed before posting it because it depends on those. > Improve limit handling in fairshare scheduler > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5186 > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
