Daniel Templeton commented on MAPREDUCE-6690:
---------------------------------------------
Thanks for the clarification, [~jlowe]. I assumed that YARN-5192 would
implement the check as part of the submit call so that the client gets
immediate feedback. The point that I forgot about, though, is that regardless
the submit only happens after the resources have been uploaded to HDFS. Given
that this check specifically targets wide loads, the cases where the
server-side check would reject the submit are exactly the ones that will waste
the most time with the upload.
I now see the light. I would like to find a way, however, to try to keep the
two settings in sync if possible. I've seen cases, such as the number of
concurrent moves in the HDFS mover, where the limit is set on both the client
and server sides, and it ends up confusing customers. What about having the RM
offer up its resource limits through a call? The client could then query the
RM's limits and apply those.

> Users will sometimes submit a large amount of resources to be localized as
> part of a single map reduce job. This can cause issues with YARN localization
> that destabilize the cluster and potentially impact other user jobs. These
> resources are specified via the files, libjars, archives and jobjar command
> line arguments or directly through the configuration (i.e. distributed cache
> api). The resources specified could be too large in multiple dimensions:
> # Total size
> # Number of files
> # Size of an individual resource (i.e. a large fat jar)
> We would like to encourage good behavior on the client side by having the
> option of enforcing resource limits along the above dimensions.
> There should be a separate effort to enforce limits at the YARN layer on the
> server side, but this jira is only covering the map reduce layer on the
> client side. In practice, having these client side limits will get us a long
> way towards preventing these localization anti-patterns.
