Hi Brad,
YARN scheduling does take care of data locality. In YARN, tasks are not
assigned based on capacity. Actually certain number of containers are
allocated on every node based on node's capacity. Tasks are executed on
those containers. While scheduling tasks on containers YARN scheduler
satisfies data locality requirements. I am not very familiar with Fair
Scheduler but if you check the source of FifoScheduler you will find a
function 'assignContainersonNode' which looks like following
private int assignContainersOnNode(FiCaSchedulerNode node,
FiCaSchedulerApp application, Priority priority
) {
// Data-local
int nodeLocalContainers =
assignNodeLocalContainers(node, application, priority);
// Rack-local
int rackLocalContainers =
assignRackLocalContainers(node, application, priority);
// Off-switch
int offSwitchContainers =
assignOffSwitchContainers(node, application, priority);
LOG.debug("assignContainersOnNode:" +
" node=" + node.getRMNode().getNodeAddress() +
" application=" + application.getApplicationId().getId() +
" priority=" + priority.getPriority() +
" #assigned=" +
(nodeLocalContainers + rackLocalContainers + offSwitchContainers));
return (nodeLocalContainers + rackLocalContainers +
offSwitchContainers);
}
In this routine you will find that data-local tasks are scheduled first,
then rack-local and in then off-switch.
After this you may find similar function in fairScheduler too.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you more questions or if something is
wrong in my reasoning.
Regards,
Shekhar
