Nathan Roberts commented on YARN-270:
-------------------------------------
Could we also add some additional flow control within the RM to prevent this
work from getting into the event queues in the first place? Having the clients
throttle on their end is important in the short term but in the long run we
need a flow control strategy that can exert back pressure at all stages of the
pipeline.

> Key: YARN-270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-270
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: resourcemanager
> Affects Versions: 0.23.5
> Reporter: Thomas Graves
> Assignee: Thomas Graves
>
> We had a couple of incidents on a 2800 node cluster where the RM scheduler
> event handler thread got behind processing events and basically become
> unusable. It was still processing apps, but taking a long time (1 hr 45
> minutes) to accept new apps. this actually happened twice within 5 days.
> We are using the capacity scheduler and at the time had between 400 and 500
> applications running. There were another 250 apps that were in the SUBMITTED
> state in the RM but the scheduler hadn't processed those to put in pending
> state yet. We had about 15 queues none of them hierarchical. We also had
> plenty of space lefts on the cluster.
