Karthik Kambatla commented on YARN-596:
---------------------------------------
Looks like we need preemptContainer() that complements assignContainer():
recurses through the queue hierarchy and preempts a container.
> In fair scheduler, intra-application container priorities affect
> inter-application preemption decisions

> Key: YARN-596
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-596
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scheduler
> Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha
> Reporter: Sandy Ryza
> Assignee: Sandy Ryza
>
> In the fair scheduler, containers are chosen for preemption in the following
> way:
> All containers for all apps that are in queues that are over their fair share
> are put in a list.
> The list is sorted in order of the priority that the container was requested
> in.
> This means that an application can shield itself from preemption by
> requesting it's containers at higher priorities, which doesn't really make
> sense.
> Also, an application that is not over its fair share, but that is in a queue
> that is over it's fair share is just as likely to have containers preempted
> as an application that is over its fair share.
