             Summary: Capacity scheduler with DominantResourceCalculator 
carries out reservation even though slots are free
                 Key: YARN-2628
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2628
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: capacityscheduler
    Affects Versions: 2.5.1
            Reporter: Varun Vasudev
            Assignee: Varun Vasudev


We've noticed that if you run the CapacityScheduler with the 
DominantResourceCalculator, sometimes apps will end up with containers in a 
reserved state even though free slots are available.

The root cause seems to be this piece of code from CapacityScheduler.java -
{noformat}
    // Try to schedule more if there are no reservations to fulfill
    if (node.getReservedContainer() == null) {
      if (Resources.greaterThanOrEqual(calculator, getClusterResource(),
          node.getAvailableResource(), minimumAllocation)) {
        if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
          LOG.debug("Trying to schedule on node: " + node.getNodeName() +
              ", available: " + node.getAvailableResource());
        }
        root.assignContainers(clusterResource, node, false);
      }
    } else {
      LOG.info("Skipping scheduling since node " + node.getNodeID() + 
          " is reserved by application " + 
          node.getReservedContainer().getContainerId().getApplicationAttemptId()
          );
    }
{noformat}

The code is meant to check if a node has any slots available for containers . 
Since it uses the greaterThanOrEqual function, we end up in situation where 
greaterThanOrEqual returns true, even though we may not have enough CPU or 
memory to actually run the container.
