Migrating Fair Scheduler to Capacity Scheduler for Cloudera Private CloudPDF version

Planning your scheduler migration

Before starting the scheduler migration, you must learn about what Fair Scheduler configuration can be converted into a Capacity Scheduler configuration prior to the migration, and what configuration requires manual configuration and fine-tuning.

The features of Capacity Scheduler are not exactly the same as the features of Fair Scheduler. Hence, the fs2cs conversion utility cannot convert every Fair Scheduler configuration into a Capacity Scheduler configuration. You must learn about what properties are auto-converted and what requires manual configuration. In addition, there are Fair Scheduler features that do not have an equivalent feature in Capacity Scheduler.
