Sietse T. Au updated YARN-1902:
-------------------------------
Attachment: YARN-1902.v3.patch
Moved the managing of administration of resource requests to the critical
section before the allocate. This is better because the asks will be retried
anyway, and calls to addContainerRequest right after allocate won't be added to
the previous request.
> Allocation of too many containers when a second request is done with the same
> resource capability

> Regarding AMRMClientImpl
> Scenario 1:
> Given a ContainerRequest x with Resource y, when addContainerRequest is
> called z times with x, allocate is called and at least one of the z allocated
> containers is started, then if another addContainerRequest call is done and
> subsequently an allocate call to the RM, (z+1) containers will be allocated,
> where 1 container is expected.
> Scenario 2:
> No containers are started between the allocate calls.
> Analyzing debug logs of the AMRMClientImpl, I have found that indeed a (z+1)
> are requested in both scenarios, but that only in the second scenario, the
> correct behavior is observed.
> Looking at the implementation I have found that this (z+1) request is caused
> by the structure of the remoteRequestsTable. The consequence of Map<Resource,
> ResourceRequestInfo> is that ResourceRequestInfo does not hold any
> information about whether a request has been sent to the RM yet or not.
> There are workarounds for this, such as releasing the excess containers
> received.
> The solution implemented is to initialize a new ResourceRequest in
> ResourceRequestInfo when a request has been successfully sent to the RM.
> The patch includes a test in which scenario one is tested.
