Jordà Polo updated MAPREDUCE-1380:
----------------------------------
Attachment: MAPREDUCE-1380_0.1.patch
I'm attaching a patch with an initial version of the scheduler.
As I said, this is still a work in progress and I'll be posting new versions as
they are ready. There is still some work left to make it useful for everyone
and not just for our own needs, but I wanted to contribute it now since it may
be of interest to other people.
(I'll also be posting a PDF with additional documentation later today.)

>
> The Adaptive Scheduler is a pluggable Hadoop scheduler that automatically
> adjusts the amount of used resources depending on the performance of jobs and
> on user-defined high-level business goals.
> Existing Hadoop schedulers are focused on managing large, static clusters in
> which nodes are added or removed manually. On the other hand, the goal of
> this scheduler is to improve the integration of Hadoop and the applications
> that run on top of it with environments that allow a more dynamic
> provisioning of resources.
> The current implementation is quite straightforward. Users specify a deadline
> at job submission time, and the scheduler adjusts the resources to meet that
> deadline (at the moment, the scheduler can be configured to either minimize
> or maximize the amount of resources). If multiple jobs are run
> simultaneously, the scheduler prioritizes them by deadline. Note that the
> current approach to estimate the completion time of jobs is quite simplistic:
> it is based on the time it takes to finish each task, so it works well with
> regular jobs, but there is still room for improvement for unpredictable jobs.
> The idea is to further integrate it with cloud-like and virtual environments
> (such as Amazon EC2, Emotive, etc.) so that if, for instance, a job isn't
> able to meet its deadline, the scheduler automatically requests more
> resources.
