Anubhav Srivastav commented on YARN-624:
----------------------------------------
Is there any progress on implementing this feature?
> Support gang scheduling in the AM RM protocol
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: YARN-624
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-624
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: api, scheduler
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Sandy Ryza
> Assignee: Sandy Ryza
>
> Per discussion on YARN-392 and elsewhere, gang scheduling, in which a
> scheduler runs a set of tasks when they can all be run at the same time,
> would be a useful feature for YARN schedulers to support.
> Currently, AMs can approximate this by holding on to containers until they
> get all the ones they need. However, this lends itself to deadlocks when
> different AMs are waiting on the same containers.
