> preemptContainerPreCheck() in FSParentQueue rejects preemption requests if
> the parent queue is below fair share. 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).
