Karthik Kambatla commented on YARN-1011: ---------------------------------------- We might be better of calling this overallocation instead of oversubscription as the latter could be mistaken for oversubscription through the yarn.nodemanager.resource.* configs. I ll go ahead and use overallocation in patches like for YARN-4512, unless someone expresses reservations here or on YARN-4512. > [Umbrella] Schedule containers based on utilization of currently allocated > containers > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-1011 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1011 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Attachments: yarn-1011-design-v0.pdf, yarn-1011-design-v1.pdf > > > Currently RM allocates containers and assumes resources allocated are > utilized. > RM can, and should, get to a point where it measures utilization of allocated > containers and, if appropriate, allocate more (speculative?) containers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
