This can cause a delay in converging > towards fairness when the starved leaf queue and the queue above fairshare > belong under a non-root parent queue(ie their least common ancestor is a > parent queue which is not root). > Here is an example : > root.parent has fair share = 80% and usage = 80% > root.parent.child1 has fair share =40% usage = 80% > root.parent.child2 has fair share=40% usage=0% > Now a job is submitted to child2 and the demand is 40%. > Preemption will kick in and try to reclaim all the 40% from child1. > When it preempts the first container from child1,the usage of root.parent > will become <80%, which is less than root.parent's fair share,causing > preemption to stop.So only one container gets preempted in this round > although the need is a lot more. child2 would eventually get to half its fair > share but only after multiple rounds of preemption. > Solution is to remove preemptContainerPreCheck() in FSParentQueue and keep it > only in FSLeafQueue(which is already there). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
