> We observed cases where the reducer preemption makes the job finish much
> later, and the preemption does not seem to be necessary since after
> preemption both the preempted reducer and the mapper are assigned
> immediately--meaning that there was already enough space for the mapper.
> The logic for triggering preemption is at
> RMContainerAllocator::preemptReducesIfNeeded
> The preemption is triggered if the following is true:
> {code}
> headroom + am * |m| + pr * |r| < mapResourceRequest
> {code}
> where am: number of assigned mappers, |m| is mapper size, pr is number of
> reducers being preempted, and |r| is the reducer size.
> The original idea apparently was that if headroom is not big enough for the
> new mapper requests, reducers should be preempted. This would work if the job
> is alone in the cluster. Once we have queues, the headroom calculation
> becomes more complicated and it would require a separate headroom calculation
> per queue/job.
> So, as a result headroom variable is kind of given up currently: *headroom is
> always set to 0* What this implies to the speculation is that speculation
> becomes very aggressive, not considering whether there is enough space for
> the mappers or not.
