########## File path: flink-yarn/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/yarn/configuration/YarnConfigOptions.java ########## @@ -188,6 +188,14 @@ .defaultValue("") .withDescription("A comma-separated list of tags to apply to the Flink YARN application."); + /** + * The max number of threads for starting yarn containers in yarn resource manager. + */ + public static final ConfigOption<Integer> CONTAINER_LAUNCHER_NUM_MAX = Review comment: I guess I would need to see some benchmarks to see the positive effect of having 100 threads instead of single worker thread. What I could see is if the Yarn site can work on multiple requests in parallel but even then there must be an upper limit to it. Imagine multiple Flink ResourceManager which bombard the Yarn NodeManager with 100s of container requests. This does not feel right. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
