Milind Bhandarkar commented on MAPREDUCE-2911:
----------------------------------------------
Thanks for the summary & status, Ralph. It is true that not a lot of Hadoop
users so far are concerned with the job startup time, given that the job
typically runs for several minutes. (In my experience, the hadoop clusters are
heavily oversubscribed, and job might even be pending in the queue for several
minutes before even the first task is started.)
So, I think a slow wireup should be acceptable to the hadoop community, and
there is a value in having hamster use yarn. (Since your second approach of
plugging in a HPC RM can remain modularly separate, one can have both
implementations, increasing the choice for users, which is good, IMHO.)

> MPI is commonly used for many machine-learning applications. OpenMPI
> (http://www.open-mpi.org/) is a popular BSD-licensed version of MPI. In the
> past, running MPI application on a Hadoop cluster was achieved using Hadoop
> Streaming (http://videolectures.net/nipsworkshops2010_ye_gbd/), but it was
> kludgy. After the resource-manager separation from JobTracker in Hadoop, we
> have all the tools needed to make MPI a first-class citizen on a Hadoop
> cluster. I am currently working on the patch to make MPI an
> application-master. Initial version of this patch will be available soon
> (hopefully before September 10.) This jira will track the development of
> Hamster: The application master for MPI.
