Arun Suresh commented on MAPREDUCE-6703:
----------------------------------------

[~jianhe], thanks for taking a look..

So in the first version, we decided to ignore locality (and for that matter, 
node labels too), since the point of YARN-2877 is to improve allocation 
latencies at the cost of relaxing some scheduling constraints. The sweet-spot 
would be for Applications that have large number of really short lived tasks 
that do not care about locality.

Reduce tasks are always guaranteed (since the cost of preempting a reduce task 
is quite high) and failed and retried map tasks are also always guaranteed..

> YARN-2882 and YARN-4335 introduces the concept of container ExecutionTypes 
> and specifically OPPORTUNISTIC containers.
> The default ExecutionType is GUARANTEED. This JIRA proposes to allow users to 
> provide hints via config to the MR framework as to the number of containers 
> it would like to schedule as OPPORTUNISTIC.
