Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on MAPREDUCE-1764: ---------------------------------------------- it seems better to find out why the index is not helping (assuming it's actually being used) rather than adding another cache on top .. > FairScheduler locality delay may put heavy pressure on Jobtracker > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1764 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1764 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Scott Chen > Assignee: Dmytro Molkov > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > > FairScheduler locality delay feature holds the scheduling of jobs until it > gets good locality. > This greatly improves the locality of the tasks. Reduce the cost of traffic. > We have observed the following problem on FairScheduler locality delay: > We have some machines have older data and some newly added machines do not > have important data. > When these machines send heartbeat, JT scans tasks to find jobs has the right > locality. > Often time, these machines will scan all of the tasks of all the jobs and do > not get any tasks. > Scanning all the tasks on the JT is very costly. This makes JT very slow. > And these machines often time do not get scheduled. This hurts the cluster > utilization. > Any ideas? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
