Junping Du commented on YARN-160:
---------------------------------
Thanks [~vvasudev] for working on this. Just take a quick glance, a few
comments:
- The old way to configure resource of NM is still useful, especially when
there are other agents running (like: HBase RegionServer). Thus, user need
flexibility to calculate resource themselves in some cases, so we should
provide another new option instead of removing old way completely.
- Given this is a new feature, we shouldn't change cluster's behavior with old
configuration in upgrade prospective. We should keep previous configuration
work as usual especially when user use some default settings.
> nodemanagers should obtain cpu/memory values from underlying OS

> As mentioned in YARN-2
> *NM memory and CPU configs*
> Currently these values are coming from the config of the NM, we should be
> able to obtain those values from the OS (ie, in the case of Linux from
> /proc/meminfo & /proc/cpuinfo). As this is highly OS dependent we should have
> an interface that obtains this information. In addition implementations of
> this interface should be able to specify a mem/cpu offset (amount of mem/cpu
> not to be avail as YARN resource), this would allow to reserve mem/cpu for
> the OS and other services outside of YARN containers.
