Ravi Prakash commented on YARN-1963: ------------------------------------ I wonder if it'd be a good idea to percolate the priorities onto the actual containers as well? (I'm thinking (re)nice-ing container processes) ? That way we can submit more jobs than can all fit into memory and take advantage of OS scheduling to pick up the ones with the highest priority? > Support priorities across applications within the same queue > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-1963 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1963 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: api, resourcemanager > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Assignee: Sunil G > > It will be very useful to support priorities among applications within the > same queue, particularly in production scenarios. It allows for finer-grained > controls without having to force admins to create a multitude of queues, plus > allows existing applications to continue using existing queues which are > usually part of institutional memory. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
