Re: Allocation of containers to tasks in Hadoop
Not an expert on capacity scheduler but the above two are not queue-level configurations, so I think the changes would not reflect on running refreshqueues. You would need to restart the RM for the new values to take effect.

Re: Allocation of containers to tasks in Hadoop
I have googled more about it, and it seems like two parameters should define the "bin packing problem". According to https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.9.1/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/CapacityScheduler.html#Other_Properties yarn.scheduler.capacity.per-node-heartbeat.multiple-assignments-enabled is by default set to true and with parameter yarn.scheduler.capacity.per-node-heartbeat.maximum-container-assignments r set to -1 it can assign all the containers the Node manager "said" it is capable of (which could somehow explain the bin packing problem for the first Nodemanager who answer with a Heartbeat message). Following Apache's instructions, I have inserted to my *capacity-scheduler.xml* in hadoop/etc/hadoop folder yarn.scheduler.capacity.per-node-heartbeat.multiple-assignments-enabled true Whether to allow multiple container assignments in one NodeManager heartbeat. Defaults to true. yarn.scheduler.capacity.per-node-heartbeat.maximum-container-assignments 2 If multiple-assignments-enabled is true, the maximum amount of containers that can be assigned in one NodeManager heartbeat. Defaults to -1, which sets no limit. I have checked the configuration file, and I am using the capacity scheduler (I have enabled yarn.scheduler.capacity.per-node-heartbeat.multiple-assignments-enabled again just to be sure). Furthermore, after I have run "yarn rmadmin -refreshQueues" I haven't seen any change in the Mappers allocation nor Reducers. hadoop2@master:~$ yarn rmadmin -refreshQueues 19/01/10 16:06:33 INFO client.RMProxy: Connecting to ResourceManager at master/172.31.24.83:8033 What am I missing over here?

Re: Allocation of containers to tasks in Hadoop
Thanks for the tips! Because I haven't set any scheduler (on purpose) for YARN then, I am using the default one (Capacity). I have looked in yarn-site.xml and in the configuration tab (using JobHistory UI), and both of the parameters that you have mentioned weren't there (so they haven't been set). You said that I should look at "locality settings" can you be more specific on what and where to look? Also, it is worth mentioning that I am using three computers and the replication factor (of HDFS) is three too. Thus, every data (even input) would be on every computer, and the memory of each computer is the same (two t2.xlarge and one m4.xlarge) while I am using DefaultResourceCalculator.

Re: Allocation of containers to tasks in Hadoop
The settings are very relevant to having an equal number of containers running on each node if you have an idle cluster and want to distribute containers for a single job. An application master submits requests for container allocations to the ResourceManager. The MRAppMaster will request all the map containers at once, the FairScheduler will find NodeManagers with capacity to fulfill the container requests. If assign multiple is enabled then you generally won't get an even number of containers assigned to each node +/- 1 container.

Re: Allocation of containers to tasks in Hadoop
As far as I know, the scheduler in YARN is only scheduling the jobs and not the containers inside each job. Therefore, I don't believe it is relevant. Also, I haven't used or set those two parameters, and I haven't picked nor set any particular schedule for my research (Fair, FIFO or Capacity). Please correct if I am wrong. P.S. currently I have no interest in a situation when I run a few jobs concurrently, my case is much simpler with one job that I would like that allocation of containers will be more balanced...
