Properties for configuring intra-queue preemption

Intra-queue preemption is enabled by default for YARN queues. In addition, you can configure the order of intra-queue preemption either by application priorities or configured user limits.

Using Cloudera Manager, you can configure the values of the following properties in YARN Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for yarn-site.xml field, for intra-queue preemption:
Property Description
yarn.resourcemanager.monitor.capacity.preemption.intra-queue-preemption.enabled Specifies whether intra-queue preemption is enabled or disabled for queues.

The default value is true.
yarn.resourcemanager.monitor.capacity.preemption.intra-queue-preemption.preemption-order-policy Specifies the order in which a queue can preempt resources. Based on your requirements, you can configure this property to either of the following values:
  • userlimit-first, to initiate intra-queue preemption based on configured user limits. This is the default value.
  • priority-first, to initiate intra-queue preemption based on application priorities.
