Arun C Murthy commented on YARN-140: ------------------------------------ Ahmed, thanks, this is close - some feedback: bq. To return the queue "root.default" as a child for root if no children are defined for root. I wouldn't do this. If someone has not defined root.child.queues it is a serious mis-configuration - let's error out (as it happens today) and not try to 'guess'. bq. To return a capacity of 100.0f for the queue "root.default" if it exists but no capacity is specified for it. Again, for same reason as above, this represents a serious mis-configuration and I wouldn't try to 'guess' capacities - error out is the right answer. One more nit: Rather than delete/add capacity-scheduler.xml let's just do an 'svn mv' to preserve history. Furthermore, please add a test-case to TestCapacitySchedulerConf to test for defaults. ---- It seems to me that the additional defaults are necessary only for unit tests - in which case the correct fix is to make a copy of capacity-scheduler.xml into a test/resources folder and get it on the classpath for our tests. > Add capacity-scheduler-default.xml to provide a default set of configurations > for the capacity scheduler. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-140 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-140 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Bug > Components: capacityscheduler > Reporter: Ahmed Radwan > Assignee: Ahmed Radwan > Attachments: YARN-140.patch, YARN-140_rev2.patch, > YARN-140_rev3.patch, YARN-140_rev4.patch > > > When setting up the capacity scheduler users are faced with problems like: > {code} > FATAL org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.resourcemanager.ResourceManager: Error > starting ResourceManager > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal capacity of -1 for queue root > {code} > Which basically arises from missing basic configurations, which in many > cases, there is no need to explicitly provide, and a default configuration > will be sufficient.

This is similar to *-default.xml vs > *-site.xml for yarn, core, mapred, hdfs, etc. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
