SlotPool will request slot to rm if its slots are not enough. > 2. If a slot request is not fulfilled in a certain time, SlotPool will treat > the request as timeout and send a new slot request by triggering a failover > in JobMaster, the previous request is not needed any more, but rm does not > know it. > 3. This may cause the rm request much more resource than the job really need. > For example: > 1. A job need 100 slots. RM request 100 container to YARN. > 2. But YARN is busy now, it has no resource for the job. > 3. The job failover as the resource request not fulfilled in time. > 4. It ask 100 slots again, now RM request 200 container to YARN. > 5. If failover server time, the containers request will become more and more. > 6. Now YARN has resource, it will find that the job may need thousands of > containers. This is a waste of resources. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
