Kang Xiao commented on MAPREDUCE-3902: -------------------------------------- Container resuse will also be useful to scale RM since it reduce the scheduling load of RM. > MR AM should reuse containers for map tasks, there-by allowing fine-grained > control on num-maps for users without need for CombineFileInputFormat etc. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3902 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3902 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: applicationmaster, mrv2 > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Assignee: Arun C Murthy > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-3902.patch > > > The MR AM is now in a great position to reuse containers across (map) tasks. > This is something similar to JVM re-use we had in 0.20.x, but in a > significantly better manner: > # Consider data-locality when re-using containers > # Consider the new shuffle - ensure that reduces fetch output of the whole > container at once (i.e. all maps) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
