Sandy Ryza resolved MAPREDUCE-3951.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
> Tasks are not evenly spread throughout cluster in MR2
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-3951
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3951
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: scheduler
> Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 0.24.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> In MR1 (at least with the fair and fifo schedulers), if you submit a job that
> needs fewer resources than the cluster can provide, the tasks are spread
> relatively evenly across the node. For example, submitting a 100-map job to a
> 50-node cluster, each with 10 slots, results in 2 tasks on each machine. In
> MR2, however, the tasks would pile up on the first 10 nodes of the cluster,
> leaving the other nodes unused. This is highly suboptimal for many use cases.
