This means even with the outstanding changes we might schedule too many drivers on the same worker. Now, we could keep track of the worker's remaining memory and cores after scheduling them to launch drivers, but this adds some complexity: (semi-pseudocode) ``` // ID -> scheduled resources as a 2-tuple (memory, cores) val scheduledWorkerResources = new HashMap[Int, (Int, Int)] val shuffledWorkers = Random.shuffle(workers).iterator.filter(_.state == ALIVE) for each waiting driver { if (shuffledWorkers.hasNext) { val candidateWorker = shuffledWorkers.next() val (scheduledMemory, scheduledCores) = scheduledWorkerResources.get(candidateWorker.id).getOrElse(0, 0) val remainingMemory = candidateWorker.memory - scheduledMemory val remainingCores = candidateWorker.cores - scheduledCores // Compare remaining resources to account for workers that have already been scheduled if (remainingMemory > driver.mem && remainingCores > driver.cores) { launchDriver(candidateWorker) ... // update scheduledWorkerResources // add back this used worker into the pool to iterate through } } } ```
