Bikas Saha commented on YARN-45: -------------------------------- All API changes at this point are being tracked under YARN-386 > Scheduler feedback to AM to release containers > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-45 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-45 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: resourcemanager > Reporter: Chris Douglas > Assignee: Carlo Curino > Attachments: YARN-45.patch > > > The ResourceManager strikes a balance between cluster utilization and strict > enforcement of resource invariants in the cluster. Individual allocations of > containers must be reclaimed- or reserved- to restore the global invariants > when cluster load shifts. In some cases, the ApplicationMaster can respond to > fluctuations in resource availability without losing the work already > completed by that task (MAPREDUCE-4584). Supplying it with this information > would be helpful for overall cluster utilization [1]. To this end, we want to > establish a protocol for the RM to ask the AM to release containers. > [1] http://research.yahoo.com/files/yl-2012-003.pdf -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
