I am running fair scheduler on hadoop 0.20.205.0 http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.205.0/fair_scheduler.html The above page talks about the following property
*mapred.fairscheduler.poolnameproperty* ** which I can set to *group.name* The default is user.name and when a user submits a job the fair scheduler assigns each user's job to a pool which has the name of the user. I am trying to change it to group.name so that the job is submitted to a pool which has the name of the user's linux group. Thus all jobs from any user from a specific group go to the same pool instead of an individual pool for every user. But *group.name* doesn't seem to work, has anyone tried this before? *user.name* and *mapred.job.queue.name* works. Is group.name supported in 0.20.205.0 because I don't see it mentioned in the docs? Thanks, Austin
