Karthik Kambatla commented on YARN-1495:
----------------------------------------
I agree with Sandy here. If it were a scheduler feature that is fundamental or
would bring the RM down if a scheduler doesn't implement, I think it would be a
good idea to not ship/ merge to branch-2. However, moving applications between
queues is benign. If the user tries to move using a scheduler that doesn't
support move yet, it would only say moving apps is not supported.
It might not be the best analogy, but I think supporting multiple resources in
the scheduler is similar. CS supported it first, but it was okay for users to
use related configs while using FS as well; it just didn't take multiple
resources into account.

> 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
