Sandy Ryza commented on SPARK-2089:
-----------------------------------
Dynamic allocation may not currently be used for batch workloads, but is there
any reason not to do so in the future? Is there anything about static
allocation that's better suited for batch workloads?
> With YARN, preferredNodeLocalityData isn't honored
> ---------------------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-2089
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2089
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: YARN
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Sandy Ryza
> Assignee: Sandy Ryza
> Priority: Critical
>
> When running in YARN cluster mode, apps can pass preferred locality data when
> constructing a Spark context that will dictate where to request executor
> containers.
> This is currently broken because of a race condition. The Spark-YARN code
> runs the user class and waits for it to start up a SparkContext. During its
> initialization, the SparkContext will create a YarnClusterScheduler, which
> notifies a monitor in the Spark-YARN code that . The Spark-Yarn code then
> immediately fetches the preferredNodeLocationData from the SparkContext and
> uses it to start requesting containers.
> But in the SparkContext constructor that takes the preferredNodeLocationData,
> setting preferredNodeLocationData comes after the rest of the initialization,
> so, if the Spark-YARN code comes around quickly enough after being notified,
> the data that's fetched is the empty unset version. The occurred during all
> of my runs.
