This is interesting, but also leads to more questions. :) *I hope you don't mind.
If I execute Drill using cgroups isolation with Marathon/Mesos, and tell a certain bit to use 4 CPU shares on a 8 CPU node, Is drill going to be aware that it's limited to 4 CPUS and plan accordingly, or will use some sort of system call to determine the number of cores, not the number of cores/shares it has access to? I could see that being an issue in the default calculation. So that leads me to the next question, if I am running Drill in a shared environment like this, to actually work with this, I have to do a custom per_node sitting per drill bit and have that line up with my cgroup resource allocation with Marathon Mesos... correct? Is there any plans to making this more of a hard env variable that can be passed to the drill bit on start up? This seems to make the coordination a lot easier. Any other options that may make sense? That leads me to another question? Is it better to have one big drill bit per node for multiple users to work with, or smaller, say per department drill bits (but multiple of them) per node. Just looking for planning purposes. Thanks for you help !! John On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 9:18 AM, Jacques Nadeau <[email protected]> wrote: > Internally, there are also some soft capabilities.
