Radim Kolar commented on MAPREDUCE-4256:
----------------------------------------

About optional resources like GPU for computation. Lets task to specify weight 
in application resource requests.

for example request like "gpu:1:.8" means requesting 1 of gpu resources with 
weight 0.8 -> give node 80% bonus if gpu resource is available

it could handle data locality as well, because for some compute tasks data 
locality its not needed because you do not move much data over net. In that 
case request will be "data:1:0.0"

> Currently resource manager supports only Memory resource during container 
> allocation.
> I propose following improvements:
> 1. add support for CPU utilization. Node CPU used information can be obtained 
> by ResourceCalculatorPlugin.
> 2. add support for custom resources. In node configuration will be something 
> like:
> name=node.resource.GPU, value=1 (node has 1 GPU).
> If job will need to use GPU for computation, it will add "GPU=1" requirement 
> to its job config and Resource Manager will allocate container on node with 
> GPU available.
