Karthik Kambatla commented on YARN-1011:
----------------------------------------

[~nroberts], [~leftnoteasy] - reasonable concerns. I am looking into allowing 
the app ask only for guaranteed containers. Scheduling will likely remain 
simple: in our loop, we just skip an application if it is not interested in 
opportunistic containers. Promotion, though, becomes tricky: we should hold off 
on promoting a container until all higher-"priority" applications that want 
only guaranteed containers get them.

Welcome any thoughts/suggestions on handling promotion if we allow applications 
to ask for only guaranteed containers. I ll continue brain-storming. We want to 
have a simple mechanism, if possible; complex protocols seem to find a way to 
hoard bugs.

> Currently RM allocates containers and assumes resources allocated are 
> utilized.
> RM can, and should, get to a point where it measures utilization of allocated 
> containers and, if appropriate, allocate more (speculative?) containers.
