I've just started playing with the Fair Scheduler. To specify the pool at job submission time you set the "mapred.fairscheduler.pool" property on the Job Conf to the name of the pool you want the job to use.

In your case I think that allocations.xml is correct. If you want to explicitly define a job to specific pool from your allocation.xml file you can define it as follows: Configuration conf3 = conf; conf3.set("pool.name", "pool3"); // conf.set(propriety.name, value) Let me know if it works..
