Matei Zaharia commented on MAPREDUCE-2201:
------------------------------------------
Why can't the scheduler kill that many tasks in 1 minute? Does it have
something to do with the heartbeat interval? (I believe that two heartbeats are
required -- one to kill the task and one to get back the fact that it was
killed and request a new task.)
> Quicker preemption causes excessive preemption in FairScheduler

> Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma

> One problem we are seeing is where FairScheduler repeatedly preempts for the
> same job. This is presumably because our preemption interval is set to a low
> number (1 minute). FS queues up N tasks to be killed - but in 1 min it is not
> able to kill and schedule new tasks on all these slots. As a result, after 1
> min - it again preempts a whole bunch of tasks.
> We could (and probably will) workaround this by increasing the preemption
> interval. However - this gives us a hard tradeoff between accurate preemption
> and timely preemption. Not good. Ideally we want to make the first set of
> preemptions quickly (to provide responsive behavior to new jobs for example)
> - but wait (to make sure that the kill actions have actually been processed)
> thereafter.
