Karthik Kambatla updated YARN-3655: ----------------------------------- Summary: FairScheduler: potential livelock due to maxAMShare limitation and container reservation (was: FairScheduler: potential deadlock due to maxAMShare limitation and container reservation ) > FairScheduler: potential livelock due to maxAMShare limitation and container > reservation > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-3655 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3655 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fairscheduler > Affects Versions: 2.7.0 > Reporter: zhihai xu > Assignee: zhihai xu > > FairScheduler: potential deadlock due to maxAMShare limitation and container > reservation. > If a node is reserved by an application, all the other applications don't > have any chance to assign a new container on this node, unless the > application which reserves the node assigns a new container on this node or > releases the reserved container on this node. > The problem is if an application tries to call assignReservedContainer and > fail to get a new container due to maxAMShare limitation, it will block all > other applications to use the nodes it reserves. If all other running > applications can't release their AM containers due to being blocked by these > reserved containers. A dead lock situation can happen. > The following is the code at FSAppAttempt#assignContainer which can cause > this potential dead lock. > {code} > // Check the AM resource usage for the leaf queue > if (!isAmRunning() && !getUnmanagedAM()) { > List<ResourceRequest> ask = appSchedulingInfo.getAllResourceRequests(); > if (ask.isEmpty() || !getQueue().canRunAppAM( > ask.get(0).getCapability())) { > if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) { > LOG.debug("Skipping allocation because maxAMShare limit would " + > "be exceeded"); > } > return Resources.none(); > } > } > {code} > To fix this issue, we can unreserve the node if we can't allocate the AM > container on the node due to Max AM share limitation and the node is reserved > by the application. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
