AM releases too many containers due to the protocol ---------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-2694 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2694 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Arun C Murthy Assignee: Sharad Agarwal - AM sends request asking 4 containers on host H1. - Asynchronously, host H1 reaches RM and gets assigned 4 containers. RM at this point, sets the value against H1 to zero in its aggregate request-table for all apps. - In the mean-while AM gets to need 3 more containers, so a total of 7 including the 4 from previous request. - Today, AM sends the absolute number of 7 against H1 to RM as part of its request table. - RM seems to be overriding its earlier value of zero against H1 to 7 against H1. And thus allocating 7 more containers. - AM already gets 4 in this scheduling iteration, but gets 7 more, a total of 11 instead of the required 7. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
