Devaraj K commented on YARN-2877:
---------------------------------

+1 for the idea [~sriramsrao], [~curino] . I just wanted to know these if I am 
not missing something from the above.

1. If the OPTIMISTIC Container is assigned to AM, and also at the same time RM 
assigned a container i.e. CONSERVATIVE for the same resource, which one NM will 
consider and start it?

2. If the OPTIMISTIC Container is assigned to AM and started it, and NM 
receives a container start request for CONSERVATIVE and resources are not 
available, will the NM preempt the running OPTIMISTIC Containers or it will 
make CONSERVATIVE request to wait for completing the OPTIMISTIC Containers?

3. Any provision for AM to request OPTIMISTIC containers in the remote NM also?

> 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).
