Configure data locality
Capacity Scheduler leverages Delay Scheduling to honor task locality constraints. There are three levels of locality constraint: node-local, rack-local, and off-switch. The scheduler counts the number of missed opportunities when the locality cannot be satisfied and waits for this count to reach a threshold before relaxing the locality constraint to the next level. You can configure this threshold using the Node Locality Delay (yarn.scheduler.capacity.node-locality-delay) and Rack Locality Additional Delay (yarn.scheduler.capacity.rack-locality-additional-delay) fields.
To configure data locality, perform the following:
- In Cloudera Manager, select the Clusters > YARN Queue Manager UI service. A graphical queue hierarchy is displayed in the Overview tab.
- Click the Scheduler Configuration tab.
- In the Node Locality Delay textbox, enter the number of scheduling opportunities
that can be missed.
Capacity Scheduler attempts to schedule rack-local containers only after missing this number of opportunities. You must ensure this number is same as the number of nodes in the cluster.
- In the Rack Locality Additional Delay textbox, enter the number of missed
scheduling opportunities, over the Node Locality Delay ones, after which Capacity Scheduler
should attempt to schedule off-switch containers.
A value of -1 means that the value is calculated based on the formula L * C / N, where L is the number of locations (nodes or racks) specified in the resource request, C is the number of requested containers, and N is the size of the cluster.
