Weiwei Yang commented on YARN-1042: ----------------------------------- Hi Steve Thanks for the comments. I correct the words. And regarding to {quote} That way the AM can choose to wait 1 minute or more for an anti-affine placement before giving up and accepting a node already in use. {quote} this is exactly the reason I proposed the PREFERRED rules, you can set a max time await before compromising the rule. For example, you use ANTI_AFFINITY rule and set 1 minute to the max wait time, then RM will wait for at least 1 minute before assigning a container to a node which already has a container running on it. Or ... forget about REQUIRED or PREFERRED, we can directly define these preference in ContainerAllocateRule class, with an attribute like *maxTimeAwaitBeforeCompromise*, default it is 0, which means never compromise the rule (REQUIRED). > add ability to specify affinity/anti-affinity in container requests > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-1042 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1042 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: resourcemanager > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Assignee: Arun C Murthy > Attachments: YARN-1042-demo.patch > > > container requests to the AM should be able to request anti-affinity to > ensure that things like Region Servers don't come up on the same failure > zones. > Similarly, you may be able to want to specify affinity to same host or rack > without specifying which specific host/rack.
