> Key: YARN-284
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-284
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: scheduler
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> The fair scheduler in MR1 has the behavior that, if a job is submitted to an
> under-utilized cluster and the cluster has more open slots than tasks in the
> job, the tasks are spread evenly throughout the cluster. This improves job
> latency since more spindles and NICs are utilized to complete the job. In MR2
> I see this issue causing significantly longer job runtimes when there is
> excess capacity in the cluster -- especially on reducers which sometimmes end
> up clumping together on a smaller set of nodes which then become disk/network
> constrained.
