> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: nodemanager, resourcemanager
> Reporter: Sriram Rao
>
> This is an umbrella JIRA that proposes to extend YARN to support distributed
> scheduling. Briefly, some of the motivations for distributed scheduling are
> the following:
> 1. Improve cluster utilization by opportunistically executing tasks otherwise
> idle resources on individual machines.
> 2. Reduce allocation latency. Tasks where the scheduling time dominates
> (i.e., task execution time is much less compared to the time required for
> obtaining a container from the RM).
