Swapnil Daingade commented on YARN-2791: ---------------------------------------- Hi [~kasha]] and [~vinodkv]], Went over the latest design doc for YARN-2139 and posted my comments. > Add Disk as a resource for scheduling > ------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-2791 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2791 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: scheduler > Affects Versions: 2.5.1 > Reporter: Swapnil Daingade > Assignee: Yuliya Feldman > Attachments: DiskDriveAsResourceInYARN.pdf > > > Currently, the number of disks present on a node is not considered a factor > while scheduling containers on that node. Having large amount of memory on a > node can lead to high number of containers being launched on that node, all > of which compete for I/O bandwidth. This multiplexing of I/O across > containers can lead to slower overall progress and sub-optimal resource > utilization as containers starved for I/O bandwidth hold on to other > resources like cpu and memory. This problem can be solved by considering disk > as a resource and including it in deciding how many containers can be > concurrently run on a node. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
