Managing and Allocating Cluster Resources using Capacity SchedulerPDF version

Enable preemption

Capacity Scheduler Preemption allows higher-priority applications to preempt lower-priority applications.

A scenario can occur in which a queue has a guaranteed level of cluster resources, but must wait to run applications because other queues are utilizing all of the available resources. If Preemption is enabled, higher-priority applications do not have to wait because lower priority applications have taken up the available capacity. With Preemption enabled, under-served queues can begin to claim their allocated cluster resources almost immediately, without having to wait for other queues' applications to finish running.
