Alejandro Abdelnur commented on YARN-689:
-----------------------------------------
[~acmurthy].
Can you explain why if minimum and increment are the same (as it is today), and
their value is set to a low number (i.e. 128m) the 'fragmentation' problem does
not arise?
Also, why do you see 'fragmentation' as an issue? We are not talking about a
fragmented memory that we won't be able to allocate because it is in multiple
chunks, if there is capacity it can be used, there is no memory fragmentation.

> Currently we overloading the minimum resource value as the actual multiplier
> used by the scheduler.
> Today with a minimum memory set to 1GB, requests for 1.5GB are always
> translated to allocation of 2GB.
> We should decouple the minimum allocation from the multiplier.
> The multiplier should also be exposed to the client via the
> RegisterApplicationMasterResponse
