Wei Yan commented on YARN-2791:
-------------------------------
[~srivas], YARN-2618 is a simple solution that limits the maximum allowed
running containers on each node. Each DataNode is configured with a maximum
disk value, and YARN treats each container's disk request is 1.
> Add Disk as a resource for scheduling

> Key: YARN-2791
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2791
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: scheduler
> Affects Versions: 2.5.1
> Reporter: Swapnil Daingade
> Assignee: Yuliya Feldman
> Attachments: DiskDriveAsResourceInYARN.pdf

>
> Currently, the number of disks present on a node is not considered a factor
> while scheduling containers on that node. Having large amount of memory on a
> node can lead to high number of containers being launched on that node, all
> of which compete for I/O bandwidth. This multiplexing of I/O across
> containers can lead to slower overall progress and sub-optimal resource
> utilization as containers starved for I/O bandwidth hold on to other
> resources like cpu and memory. This problem can be solved by considering disk
> as a resource and including it in deciding how many containers can be
> concurrently run on a node.
