Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-4035:
---------------------------------------
I think it is important that we not starve jobs, so I think we should not take
the next job's task, if the current job's task doesn't fit. I've also filed
HADOOP-4306 to change the disk space monitoring the same way.
It probably makes sense in the future, to have a special case if the
TaskTracker is job's task will never fit on this TaskTracker and let other low
priority jobs use it. But, it should be a different jira.
> Modify the capacity scheduler (HADOOP-3445) to schedule tasks based on memory
> requirements and task trackers free memory

> HADOOP-3759 introduced configuration variables that can be used to specify
> memory requirements for jobs, and also modified the tasktrackers to report
> their free memory. The capacity scheduler in HADOOP-3445 should schedule
> tasks based on these parameters. A task that is scheduled on a TT that uses
> more than the default amount of memory per slot can be viewed as effectively
> using more than one slot, as it would decrease the amount of free memory on
> the TT by more than the default amount while it runs. The scheduler should
> make the used capacity account for this additional usage while enforcing
> limits, etc.
