Till Rohrmann created FLINK-7866: ------------------------------------ Summary: Weigh list of preferred locations for scheduling Key: FLINK-7866 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7866 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Scheduler Affects Versions: 1.3.2, 1.4.0 Reporter: Till Rohrmann Fix For: 1.5.0
[~sihuazhou] proposed to not only use the list of preferred locations to decide where to schedule a task, but to also weigh the list according to how often a location appeared and then select the location based on the weight. That way, we would obtain better locality in some cases. Example: Preferred locations list: {{{location1, location2, location2}}} Weighted preferred locations list {{{ (location2 , 2), (location1, 1)}}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
