Arun C Murthy commented on HDFS-4949:
-------------------------------------
We've been discussing through a proposal where-in we can leverage YARN's
resource-management *and* workload-management capabilities (via delegation of
resources, in this case RAM to HDFS) to provide a more general cache
administration in YARN-1488.

> HDFS currently has no support for managing or exposing in-memory caches at
> datanodes. This makes it harder for higher level application frameworks like
> Hive, Pig, and Impala to effectively use cluster memory, because they cannot
> explicitly cache important datasets or place their tasks for memory locality.
