If DominantResourceCalculator is not used, number of containers launched would be dependent on the amount of memory allocated to NM and the container size. So in your cluster, if you have allocated 96 GB to NM and container size is set to 1.5 GB, it can potentially launch 64 containers in a node. If node has 64 CPU it is fine, otherwise it would end up oversubscribing the CPU which can lead to slowness (due to context switching etc. Please note that every container could potentially create number of threads depeding on map or reduce phase.).
4 GB would anyways waste 0.5 GB as per current configuration. Yarn would allocate 4.5 GB to fit 4 GB slot. When given to tez, it would end up using only 80% by default. So it would have effectively used only 3.2 GB. Instead of 4 GB, you can use 3 GB to start off with. In this case, YARN can allocate 3 GB and tez would spin up with 2.4 GB container. Single node with 96GB could fit in 32 containers. ~Rajesh.B On Sat, Nov 26, 2016 at 7:31 AM, Ranjan Banerjee <raba...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Hi Rajesh, > Thanks a lot for the insight.
