             Summary: Launch containers asynchronously by default
                 Key: YARN-7327
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-7327
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Craig Ingram
            Priority: Trivial


I was recently doing some research into Spark on YARN's startup time and 
observed slow, synchronous allocation of containers/executors. I am testing on 
a 4 node bare metal cluster w/48 cores and 128GB memory per node. YARN was only 
allocating about 3 containers per second. Moreover when starting 3 Spark 
applications at the same time with each requesting 44 containers, the first 
application would get all 44 requested containers and then the next application 
would start getting containers and so on.
 
>From looking at the code, it appears this is by design. There is an

Here's the config:
`yarn.scheduler.capacity.schedule-asynchronously.enable`
 
Any help understanding this would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Craig
 

If you're curious about the performance difference with this setting, here are 
the results:
 
The following tool was used for the benchmarks:
https://github.com/SparkTC/spark-bench

h2. async scheduler research
The goal of this test is to determine if running Spark on YARN with async 
scheduling of containers reduces the amount of time required for an application 
to receive all of its requested resources. This setting should also reduce the 
overall runtime of short-lived applications/stages or notebook paragraphs. This 
setting could prove crucial to achieving optimal performance when sharing 
resources on a cluster with dynalloc enabled.
h3. Test Setup
Must update /etc/hadoop/conf/capacity-scheduler.xml (or through Ambari) between 
runs.  
`yarn.scheduler.capacity.schedule-asynchronously.enable=true|false`

conf files request executors counts of:  
* 2
* 20
* 50
* 100

The apps are being submitted to the default queue on each cluster which caps at 
48 cores on dynalloc and 72 cores on baremetal. The default queue was expanded 
for the last two tests on baremetal so it could potentially take advantage of 
all 144 cores.

h3. Test Environments

4 VMs in Fyre (1 master, 3 workers)
8 CPUs/16 GB per node

h4. baremetal
4 baremetal instances in Fyre (1 master, 3 workers)
48 CPUs/128GB per node
model name    : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
