-----------------------------------
Hey [~leftnoteasy],
bq. If opportunistic/guaranteed is solely decided by scheduler..
So, it neednt be decided solely by the Scheduler. Taking into consideration
YARN-1011, if oversubscription is required, yes, this will be decided by the
Scheduler, else if the NM is configured to support Distributed Scheduling, this
decision can be made by the LocalScheduler, or via the application of a Policy
(just created YARN-4503 to track this)
bq. is it possible that AM cannot get container in predictable behavior?
If the above mentioned policy makes the decision on static parameters such as
locality or container size etc, yes, it should be consistent.. if it is more
dynamic, for eg. based on load etc, then not so much... but we feel AM should
not need to know.
bq. Why add limitation to AMs that can only allocate for opportunistic
resources.
Apologize if I wasnt clear. what I meant was this : If an AM is not able to
specifying the type of resource request.. then we can also ensure that
mis-behaving AMs wont flood the scheduler with only GUARANTEED requests.

> This JIRA introduces the notion of container types.
> We propose two initial types of containers: guaranteed-start and queueable
> containers.
> Guaranteed-start are the existing containers, which are allocated by the
> central RM and are instantaneously started, once allocated.
> Queueable is a new type of container, which allows containers to be queued in
> the NM, thus their execution may be arbitrarily delayed.
