Thomas Graves commented on YARN-45:
-----------------------------------
A couple of very nit picks that we might fix before commit that Karthik
referred to are a few typos in the comments/javadoc.
AllocateResponse - comment still references resources - "description of
resources and containers"
PreemptMessage - Grammar needs fixing -
" * A <code>PreemptMessage</code> is part of the RM-AM protocol, and it is used
by the RM
+ * specify resources that are the RM wants to reclaim from the AM."
> Scheduler feedback to AM to release containers

> The ResourceManager strikes a balance between cluster utilization and strict
> enforcement of resource invariants in the cluster. Individual allocations of
> containers must be reclaimed- or reserved- to restore the global invariants
> when cluster load shifts. In some cases, the ApplicationMaster can respond to
> fluctuations in resource availability without losing the work already
> completed by that task (MAPREDUCE-4584). Supplying it with this information
> would be helpful for overall cluster utilization [1]. To this end, we want to
> establish a protocol for the RM to ask the AM to release containers.
