[jira] [Updated] (MAPREDUCE-2905) Allow mapred.fairscheduler.assignmultple to be set per job

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2905?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jeff Bean updated MAPREDUCE-2905:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
We encountered a situation where in the same cluster, large jobs benefit from mapred.fairscheduler.assignmultiple, but small jobs with small numbers of mappers do not: the mappers all clump to fully occupy just a few nodes, which causes those nodes to saturate and bottleneck. The desired behavior is to spread the job across more nodes so that a relatively small job doesn't saturate any node in the cluster.

It'd be nice developers can set a param similar to mapred.fairscheduler.assignmultiple on a per-job basis to better control the task allocation of a particular job.

The desired behavior is to round-robin spread the job across more nodes.
