Konstantinos Karanasos commented on YARN-6344:
----------------------------------------------
Thank you for the input, [~sunilg] and [~leftnoteasy].
[~sunilg], indeed we could eventually give the parameter as a percentage of the
cluster nodes, e.g., 0.25 would mean that we wait to hear from 25% of the
cluster nodes before relaxing locality. But we would then have to change the
node-locality-delay to be a percentage too, in order to be consistent. And this
would mean that everybody would have to change its cluster configuration. So,
like Wangda says, maybe it is better to keep it as an absolute value for now?
[~leftnoteasy], I like your idea to put the rack-locality-delay as "additional
opportunities on top of node-locality-delay ones". I will update the patch.

> When relaxing locality from node to rack, the {{node-locality-parameter}} is
> used: when scheduling opportunities for a scheduler key are more than the
> value of this parameter, we relax locality and try to assign the container to
> a node in the corresponding rack.
> On the other hand, when relaxing locality to off-switch (i.e., assign the
> container anywhere in the cluster), we are using a {{localityWaitFactor}},
> which is computed based on the number of outstanding requests for a specific
> scheduler key, which is divided by the size of the cluster.
> In case of applications that request containers in big batches (e.g.,
> traditional MR jobs), and for relatively small clusters, the
> localityWaitFactor does not affect relaxing locality much.
> However, in case of applications that request containers in small batches,
> this load factor takes a very small value, which leads to assigning
> off-switch containers too soon. This situation is even more pronounced in big
> clusters.
> For example, if an application requests only one container per request, the
> locality will be relaxed after a single missed scheduling opportunity.
> The purpose of this JIRA is to rethink the way we are relaxing locality for
> off-switch assignments.
