Karthik Kambatla commented on YARN-3655:
----------------------------------------
Thanks for the clarifications, Zhihai. The latest patch looks mostly good, nice
test. Few nit picks before we get this in:
# In hasContainerForNode, the patch has some spurious changes. Also, would be
nice to add a comment for the newly added check.
# File a follow-up JIRA to separate out the code paths for assigning a reserved
container and a non-reserved container.
# File a follow-up JIRA to move all reservation-related tests from
TestFairScheduler to TestFairSchedulerReservations

> FairScheduler: potential livelock 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 livelock situation can happen.
> The following is the code at FSAppAttempt#assignContainer which can cause
> this potential livelock.
> {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.
