Rohith commented on YARN-3136:
------------------------------
I agree that synchronization is not required for getTransferredContainers
methods.
bq. So a synchronized getter can be invoked from getTransferredContainers to
get the application object for list of containers
I think this is not required since
{{app.getCurrentAppAttempt().getLiveContainers()}} always returns copy of
livecontainers i.e new object of ArrayList.
> getTransferredContainers can be a bottleneck during AM registration

> Key: YARN-3136
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3136
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: scheduler
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: Jason Lowe
> Assignee: Sunil G
>
> While examining RM stack traces on a busy cluster I noticed a pattern of AMs
> stuck waiting for the scheduler lock trying to call getTransferredContainers.
> The scheduler lock is highly contended, especially on a large cluster with
> many nodes heartbeating, and it would be nice if we could find a way to
> eliminate the need to grab this lock during this call. We've already done
> similar work during AM allocate calls to make sure they don't needlessly grab
> the scheduler lock, and it would be good to do so here as well, if possible.
