Sandy Ryza commented on YARN-1495:
----------------------------------
Sorry if I'm jumping hard on this one. It's something I've thought a fair bit
about when adding scheduler features to YARN. We're all busy, and I want to be
in a position where a scheduler can advance even when those familiar with the
other scheduler aren't able to contribute dev time to immediately implement the
same feature. This obviously shouldn't be at the expense of adding huge
amounts of complexity for users. But I think in this case, the concept of "If
I go with X scheduler, I will be able to move jobs between queues, and if I go
with Y scheduler, this is not supported yet" is not super difficult for
administrators to digest. Much less difficult to digest than many of the other
differences between schedulers.

> Key: YARN-1495
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1495
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: scheduler
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Sandy Ryza
> Assignee: Sandy Ryza
>
> This is an umbrella JIRA for work needed to allow moving YARN applications
> from one queue to another. The work will consist of additions in the command
> line options, additions in the client RM protocol, and changes in the
> schedulers to support this.
> I have a picture of how this should function in the Fair Scheduler, but I'm
> not familiar enough with the Capacity Scheduler for the same there.
> Ultimately, the decision to whether an application can be moved should go
> down to the scheduler - some schedulers may wish not to support this at all.
> However, schedulers that do support it should share some common semantics
> around ACLs and what happens to running containers.
> Here is how I see the general semantics working out:
> * A move request is issued by the client. After it gets past ACLs, the
> scheduler checks whether executing the move will violate any constraints. For
> the Fair Scheduler, these would be queue maxRunningApps and queue
> maxResources constraints
> * All running containers are transferred from the old queue to the new queue
> * All outstanding requests are transferred from the old queue to the new queue
> Here is I see the ACLs of this working out:
> * To move an app from a queue a user must have modify access on the app or
> administer access on the queue
> * To move an app to a queue a user must have submit access on the queue or
> administer access on the queue
