Jonathan Eagles commented on TEZ-3935:
--------------------------------------
This will improve the many type of jobs. Does this setting have any
interactions with pre-warm containers? If so we should list that in the
description as well.
> DAG aware scheduler should release unassigned new containers rather than hold
> them

>
> I saw a case for a very large job with many containers where the DAG aware
> scheduler was getting behind on assigning containers. Newly assigned
> containers were not finding any matching request, so they were queued for
> reuse processing. However it took so long to get through all of the task and
> container events that the container allocations expired before the container
> was finally assigned and attempted to be launched.
> Newly assigned containers are assigned to their matching requests, even if
> that violates the DAG priorities, so it should be safe to simply release
> these if no tasks could be found to use them. The matching request has
> either been removed or already satisified with a reused container. Besides,
> if we can't find any tasks to take the newly assigned container then it is
> very likely we have plenty of reusable containers already, and keeping more
> containers just makes the job a resource hog on the cluster.
