-----------------------------------
Hi [~leftnoteasy], just go through the doc. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Can a container that marked as ALLOCATING_WAITING be occupied by other
requests? I'm afraid ALLOCATING_WAITING would decline the utilization of the
cluster. In a cluster with many nodes and many jobs, it's uneasy to make the
most of jobs satisfied with their allocations, especially in the app-oriented
allocation mechanism(which maps the newly available resource to appropriate
apps). Once a customer asks us "why we can get 100% locality in MR1 but only up
to 60%~70% after making various of optimizations?". So we can guess there are
quite a percents of resource requests which are not satisfied with their
allocations in a cluster, thus there would be many containers experience the
ALLOCATING_WAITING phase which makes many resource idle for a period of time.

> There're some issues with current Capacity Scheduler implementation of delay
> scheduling:
> *1) Waiting time to allocate each container highly depends on cluster
> availability*
> Currently, app can only increase missed-opportunity when a node has available
> resource AND it gets traversed by a scheduler. There’re lots of possibilities
> that an app doesn’t get traversed by a scheduler, for example:
> A cluster has 2 racks (rack1/2), each rack has 40 nodes.
> Node-locality-delay=40. An application prefers rack1.
> Node-heartbeat-interval=1s.
> Assume there are 2 nodes available on rack1, delay to allocate one container
> = 40 sec.
> If there are 20 nodes available on rack1, delay of allocating one container =
> 2 sec.
> *2) It could violate scheduling policies (Fifo/Priority/Fair)*
> Assume a cluster is highly utilized, an app (app1) has higher priority, it
> wants locality. And there’s another app (app2) has lower priority, but it
> doesn’t care about locality. When node heartbeats with available resource,
> app1 decides to wait, so app2 gets the available slot. This should be
> considered as a bug that we need to fix.
> The same problem could happen when we use FIFO/Fair queue policies.
> Another problem similar to this is related to preemption: when preemption
> policy preempts some resources from queue-A for queue-B (queue-A is
> over-satisfied and queue-B is under-satisfied). But queue-B is waiting for
> the node-locality-delay so queue-A will get resources back. In next round,
> preemption policy could preempt this resources again from queue-A.
> This JIRA is target to solve these problems.
