Sandy Ryza created YARN-624: ------------------------------- Summary: Support gang scheduling in the AM RM protocol Key: YARN-624 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-624 Project: Hadoop YARN Issue Type: Sub-task Components: api, scheduler Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha Reporter: Sandy Ryza Assignee: Sandy Ryza
Per discussion on YARN-392 and elsewhere, gang scheduling, in which a scheduler runs a set of tasks when they can all be run at the same time, would be a useful feature for YARN schedulers to support. Currently, AMs can approximate this by holding on to containers until they get all the ones they need. However, this lends itself to deadlocks when different AMs are waiting on the same containers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
