             Summary: Add reservation support to RPC FairCallQueue
                 Key: HADOOP-15016
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15016
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Wei Yan
            Assignee: Wei Yan
            Priority: Normal


FairCallQueue is introduced to provide RPC resource fairness among different 
users. In current implementation, each user is weighted equally, and the 
processing priority for different RPC calls are based on how many requests that 
user sent before. This works well when the cluster is shared among several 
end-users.

However, this has some limitations when a cluster is shared among both 
end-users and some service jobs, like some ETL jobs which run under a service 
account and need to issue lots of RPC calls. When NameNode becomes quite busy, 
this set of jobs can be easily backoffed and low-prioritied. We cannot simply 
treat this type jobs as "bad" user who randomly issues too many calls, as their 
calls are normal calls. Also, it is unfair to weight a end-user and a heavy 
service user equally when allocating RPC resources.

One idea here is to introduce reservation support to RPC resources. That is, 
for some services, we reserve some RPC resources for their calls. This idea is 
very similar to how YARN manages CPU/memory resources among different resource 
queues. A little more details here: Along with existing FairCallQueue setup 
(like using 4 queues with different priorities), we would add some additional 
special queues, one for each special service user. For each special service 
user, we provide a guarantee RPC share (like 10% which can be aligned with its 
YARN resource share), and this percentage can be converted to a weight used in 
WeightedRoundRobinMultiplexer. A quick example, we have 4 default queues with 
default weights (8, 4, 2, 1), and two special service users (user1 with 10% 
share, and user2 with 15% share). So finally we'll have 6 queues, 4 default 
queues (with weights 8, 4, 2, 1) and 2 special queues (user1Queue weighted 
15*10%/75%=2, and user2Queue weighted 15*15%/75%=3).

For new coming RPC calls from special service users, they will be put directly 
to the corresponding reserved queue; for other calls, just follow current 
implementation.

By default, there is no special user and all RPC requests follow existing 
FairCallQueue implementation.

Would like to hear more comments on this approach; also want to know any other 
better solutions?
