Naganarasimha G R commented on YARN-4963:
-----------------------------------------
bq. I think application specific configurations should be there rather at
scheduler level.
Even i feel the same, any specfic reason it has been set only at the scheduler
level other than the AMRM interface change ? We can keep the default value as 1
so that its still compatible. Also anyway allocation happens within app's &
queue's capacity limits so i feel it would be ideal for app to decide how many
allocations in off_switch node. thoughts ?
> capacity scheduler: Make number of OFF_SWITCH assignments per heartbeat

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4963
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: capacityscheduler
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.7.2
> Reporter: Nathan Roberts

>
> Currently the capacity scheduler will allow exactly 1 OFF_SWITCH assignment
> per heartbeat. With more and more non MapReduce workloads coming along, the
> degree of locality is declining, causing scheduling to be significantly
> slower. It's still important to limit the number of OFF_SWITCH assignments to
> avoid densely packing OFF_SWITCH containers onto nodes.
> Proposal is to add a simple config that makes the number of OFF_SWITCH
> assignments configurable.
> Will upload candidate patch shortly.
