You must transition from Fair Scheduler to Capacity Scheduler when upgrading your
cluster to CDP Private Cloud Base. The transition process involves
automatically converting certain Fair Scheduler configuration to Capacity Scheduler configuration
prior to the upgrade and manual fine tuning after the upgrade.
In CDP, Capacity Scheduler is the default and supported scheduler. You have to transition from
Fair Scheduler to Capacity Scheduler when upgrading from CDH to CDP Private Cloud Base.
The scheduler transition process includes migrating the YARN settings from Fair Scheduler to
Capacity Scheduler:
Preparing for cluster upgrade: As using the Upgrade Cluster Wizard in Cloudera
Manager you have to add the necessary services before you can start upgrading your
cluster. When you add the YARN QueueManager Service you have to copy your scheduler
settings. That is when you can use the fs2cs conversion utility to
automatically convert Fair Scheduler into Capacity Scheduler as a part of the Upgrade
Wizard in Cloudera Manager.
Upgrade the cluster to CDP Private Cloud Base.
Post-upgrade: Manually configure and fine-tune the scheduler after the upgrade is
completed.
