Afraid not. When we suspend/resume a slider application, what we are doing is shutting down the entire application, releasing all its YARN resources and killing the "Application Master". The MapReduce engine runs its AM for the duration of the job; building up lots of state in that AM as to what is happening. Tez runs for longer, but it can dynamically change cluster size based on load.
"Hadoop pre-emption" is a mechanism by which your cluster can be set up so that higher priority workloads can cause containers of lower-priority jobs to get killed, "pre-empted". Maybe that could be useful. -Steve On 18 February 2015 at 17:22:57, xeonmailinglist ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) wrote: Hi, I noticed that YARN does not suspend or resume a mapreduce job that it is executing. Then, I have found Apache Slider. Is it possible to submit a mapreduce job with slider, and suspend and resume the job while executing? Thanks,
