I don't think you mean to say that there's intentionally a performance issue. But yes there are performance issues with the filter scheduler. Because I work on a deployment that uses cells to partition the workload I haven't seen them myself, but there are plenty of reports from others who have encountered them. And it's easy to run some back of the napkin calculations like was done below and see that scheduling will require a lot of resources if there's no partitioning.


There are quite a few design summit sessions on looking into
alternative approaches to our current scheduler.

While I would love a single scheduler to make everyone happy, I am
thinking we might end up with several scheduler, each with slightly
different properties, and you pick one depending on what you want to
do with your cloud.

+1. We have the ability to drop in different schedulers right now, but there's only one really useful scheduler in the tree. There has been talk of making a more performant scheduler which schedules in a 'good enough' fashion through some approximation algorithm. I would love to see that get introduced as another scheduler and not as a rework of the filter scheduler. I suppose the chance scheduler could technically count for that, but I'm under the impression that it isn't used beyond testing.

Just curios if this is considered a performance issue? With a 10k nodes, 60 VM 
per node, and 3 hours VM life cycle cloud, it will have more than 1 million DB 
access per second. Not a small number IMHO.

Thanks
