Tsuyoshi OZAWA commented on YARN-2001: -------------------------------------- [~adhoot], you're correct basically. I meant that if epoch gap between RM and NM is too large to handle for RM, it can be killed. It saves memory usage of RM. > Threshold for RM to accept requests from AM after failover > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-2001 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2001 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: resourcemanager > Reporter: Jian He > Assignee: Jian He > > After failover, RM may require a certain threshold to determine whether it’s > safe to make scheduling decisions and start accepting new container requests > from AMs. The threshold could be a certain amount of nodes. i.e. RM waits > until a certain amount of nodes joining before accepting new container > requests. Or it could simply be a timeout, only after the timeout RM accepts > new requests. > NMs joined after the threshold can be treated as new NMs and instructed to > kill all its containers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
