Hi, sparkers,
When I read the code about computing resources allocation for the newly
submitted application in the Master#schedule method, I got a question about
data locality:
// Pack each app into as few nodes as possible until we've assigned all its
cores
for (worker <- workers if worker.coresFree > 0 && worker.state ==
WorkerState.ALIVE) {
for (app <- waitingApps if app.coresLeft > 0) {
if (canUse(app, worker)) {
val coresToUse = math.min(worker.coresFree, app.coresLeft)
if (coresToUse > 0) {
val exec = app.addExecutor(worker, coresToUse)
launchExecutor(worker, exec)
app.state = ApplicationState.RUNNING
}
}
}
}
Looks that the resource allocation policy here is that Master will assign as
few workers as possible, so long as these few workers has enough resources for
the application.
My question is: Assume that the data the application will process is spread on
all the worker nodes, then the data locality is lost if using the above policy?
Not sure whether I have unstandood correctly or I have missed something.
