Queue Administration and Permissions

The following table lists queue administration and permission properties:

Property Description
yarn.scheduler.capacity. <queue-path>.state

The state of the queue. Possible values are RUNNING or STOPPED. If a queue is in the STOPPED state, new applications cannot be submitted to that queue or any of its child queues.

If the root queue is STOPPED, no applications can be submitted to the entire cluster. Existing applications continue to completion, so the queue can be drained gracefully.

yarn.scheduler.capacity.root. <queue-path>.acl_submit_applications

The Access Control List (ACL) that controls who can submit applications to the given queue. If the given user/group belongs to the ACL on a given queue or one of the parent queues in the hierarchy, they can submit applications.

ACLs for this property are inherited from the parent queue if not specified.

yarn.scheduler.capacity.root. <queue-path>.acl_administer_queue

The ACL that controls who can administer applications on the given queue. If the given user/group has the necessary ACLs on the given queue or one of the parent queues in the hierarchy, they can administer applications.

ACLs for this property are inherited from the parent queue if not specified.
