Alejandro Abdelnur commented on YARN-689: ----------------------------------------- The headroom needed to run a container, given all the typical dependencies, is significant. Having the multiplier decoupled from the minimum allows a better tuning of the cluster to maximize utilization/allocation. As I was trying to exemplify in the description, take the current min default is 1GB, MRAM (via YARNRunner) asks for 1.5GB as default, meaning you are getting alway 2GB. > Add multiplier unit to resourcecapabilities > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-689 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-689 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Bug > Components: api, scheduler > Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha > Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur > Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur > Attachments: YARN-689.patch > > > Currently we overloading the minimum resource value as the actual multiplier > used by the scheduler. > Today with a minimum memory set to 1GB, requests for 1.5GB are always > translated to allocation of 2GB. > We should decouple the minimum allocation from the multiplier. > The multiplier should also be exposed to the client via the > RegisterApplicationMasterResponse -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
