Sandy Ryza commented on YARN-521:
---------------------------------

Thinking about this a little more, I think a specific host should be able to be 
mixed with the rack it resides on.  This means "I'd prefer the host, but 
anything on the rack is acceptable".  Here's the documentation I wrote, which 
includes this:

{code}
   * The way that YARN handles requesting containers in specific locations is
   * somewhat subtle. Containers may be requested on specific nodes and/or on
   * specific racks. By default, locations requested are only suggestions and
   * the scheduler may return containers outside of them. A request may also
   * be submitted with locality relaxation turned off, in which case containers
   * for it will never be assigned on nodes and racks other than the ones
   * explicitly specified in it. A request with locality relaxation off that
   * specifies both a node and the rack it resides on means that the node is
   * preferred, but another node on the rack is still acceptable.
   * 
   * A couple restrictions apply to requests with locality relaxation turned 
off.
   * A request without locality relaxation may not be submitted at the same
   * priority as one with locality relaxation turned on.  Additionally, a 
request
   * without locality relaxation that explicitly includes a node, but not the 
rack
   * that the node resides on, may not be submitted at the same priority as a
   * request without locality relaxation that explicitly asks for that rack.
