Sunil G commented on YARN-4280:
-------------------------------
bq.So yes, we need the other queues to stop allocating until the
higher-priority queue's allocation is satisfied or we have a priority inversion
and indefinite postponement issues.
Thanks [~jlowe] for restating the problem. Yes, I think i got the intention
correctly. This is a case to handle.
bq.expand the existing CSAssignent skipped boolean to be an enumeration of
skipped types.
Recently for a YARN-4091 POC work, I was looking into various enums returned
from allocation call flow. Yes, Its better if we add this flags like
"queue-limit-skipped" to CSAssignment as an enum instead of "skipped" boolean.
It can help to propagate the real reason to queue level.

> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: capacity scheduler
> Affects Versions: 2.6.1, 2.8.0, 2.7.1
> Reporter: Kuhu Shukla
> Assignee: Kuhu Shukla

>
> Consider the following scenario:
> There are 2 queues A(25% of the total capacity) and B(75%), both can run at
> total cluster capacity. There are 2 applications, appX that runs on Queue A,
> always asking for 1G containers(non-AM) and appY runs on Queue B asking for 2
> GB containers.
> The user limit is high enough for the application to reach 100% of the
> cluster resource.
> appX is running at total cluster capacity, full with 1G containers releasing
> only one container at a time. appY comes in with a request of 2GB container
> but only 1 GB is free. Ideally, since appY is in the underserved queue, it
> has higher priority and should reserve for its 2 GB request. Since this
> request puts the alloc+reserve above total capacity of the cluster,
> reservation is not made. appX comes in with a 1GB request and since 1GB is
> still available, the request is allocated.
> This can continue indefinitely causing priority inversion.
