Using a Different Scheduler

Myriad uses MyriadFairScheduler by default. However, MyriadCapacityScheduler and MyriadFifoScheduler can also be used to run jobs.

IMPORTANT This component is deprecated. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using an alternate product. For more information, see Discontinued Ecosystem Components.
The Myriad Scheduler property is set in the yarn-site.xml file:
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.scheduler.class</name>
  <value>org.apache.myriad.scheduler.yarn.MyriadFairScheduler</value>
  <description>You can configure other schedulers from following list: 
     org.apache.myriad.scheduler.yarn.MyriadCapacityScheduler, 
     org.apache.myriad.scheduler.yarn.MyriadFifoScheduler</description>
</property>
IMPORTANT Fine-grained scaling only works with a MyriadFairScheduler configuration.

To use either MyriadCapacityScheduler or MyriadFifoScheduler:

Procedure

  1. Edit the /opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-2.7.0/etc/hadoop/yarn-site.xml file.
  2. For the yarn.resourcemanager.scheduler.class property, specify either org.apache.myriad.scheduler.yarn.MyriadCapacityScheduler or org.apache.myriad.scheduler.yarn.MyriadFifoScheduler
  3. Modify the YARN scheduler minimum allocation properties.
    The configure.sh sets these properties to zero (0) by default. When using a different scheduler, the properties must be set (as a minimum) to the following values:
    
    yarn.scheduler.minimum-allocation-mb = 1024
    yarn.scheduler.minimum-allocation-vcores = 1
    yarn.scheduler.minimum-allocation-disks = 0
                    
  4. Copy or update the yarn-site.xml file on every node in the cluster.
  5. Restart the initial Resource Manager from Marathon.
