Moving conversation to yarn-dev. BCC’ed hdfs-dev. YARN actually does not do anything except give back containers based on what an application requested for. It is up to each and every application to first figure out where the data is located and then make optimal choices based on which node to prefer for scheduling. I believe MapReduce has some changes to use potentially memory-based block locations over disk-based ones but I don’t believe there is any significant work in any YARN application that makes cost-based decisions based on the various storage types of where blocks are available.
