Eric Payne commented on MAPREDUCE-5870:
---------------------------------------

[~sunilg], for what it's worth, I have downloaded the latest patch (version 
003) and tested and verified it in conjunction with the changes that were made 
for YARN-2003.

I performed the following sleep jobs with 10 tasks each. My one-node cluster 
can run 5 containers at once.
- I submit sleep job1 to the default queue, setting 
{{-Dmapreduce.job.priority=LOW}}
- Job1 starts running 5 containers and has 5 tasks pending.
- I submit sleep job2 to the default queue, setting 
{{-Dmapreduce.job.priority=HIGH}}
- All 10 job2 tasks are pending.
- Once tasks from job1 complete, job2 gets the containers. Although job1 has 5 
tasks pending, the number of running tasks for job1 remains 0 until job2 has no 
more pending tasks and job2's running tasks begin to complete.
- At that point, job1's tasks begin again to receive containers.

I also verified that you can specify {{-Dmapreduce.job.priority=_number_}}, and 
the container allocations go to the higher numbered jobs.
Finally, I verified that if you make the priority higher than the cluster max, 
it silently sets the job priority to cluster max.

So, the bottom line is LGTM :-)

> Job Prioirty can be set from client side as below [Configuration and api].
>                       a.      JobConf.getJobPriority() and 
> Job.setPriority(JobPriority priority) 
>                       b.      We can also use configuration 
> "mapreduce.job.priority".
>               Now this Job priority can be passed in Application Submission 
> context from Client side.
>               Here we can reuse the MRJobConfig.PRIORITY configuration.
