Shivam, Here lies its inception with good reading stuff related to what you ask: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3746 and the general description and usage documents may be found at: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/fair_scheduler.html
You can browse through the sources under $HADOOP_HOME/src/contrib/fairscheduler and I believe you can begin by reading from src/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FairScheduler.java downwards.
