So how does hadoop get this property if it is per node? Does it get the minimum of all nodes?
--> No its not minimum of all nodes. Each nodemanager reads this configuration from its respective configuration file(yarn-site.xml). Nodemanager is like an agent which manages the lifecycle of containers and installed on each node where you want to run containers. It communicates with resource manager and that is how resource manager comes to know about capability of each node. At the time of registration with RM, Nodemanager tells about that node's capability to RM(for scheduling) by reading above 2 configuration items(one for memory and one for vcores). By capability of node I meant you may have some nodes which has 8 cores and some which have 16 cores, for instance. Some may have 16 GB memory and some 24 GB. So above 2 configurations can be configured accordingly because till Hadoop 2.7 we were not getting a node's hardware capability from operating system. This will be automatically read from OS(Linux/Windows), if configured to do so, from 2.8 onwards. This is a nodemanager configuration and is not required to be configured at the client side while submitting the job.
