[jira] [Commented] (YARN-2456) Possible deadlock in CapacityScheduler when RM is recovering apps

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2456?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14111624#comment-14111624 ] 

Jian He commented on YARN-2456:
-------------------------------

One thing we can do is to add the application to scheduler based on the application submission order.  i.e. sort the apps first based on applicationId before recovering the apps

> Consider this scenario:
> 1. RM is configured with a single queue and only one application can be active at a time.
> 2. Submit App1 which uses up the queue's whole capacity
> 3. Submit App2 which remains pending.
> 4. Restart RM.
> 5. App2 is recovered before App1, so App2 is added to the activeApplications list. Now App1 remains pending (because of max-active-app limit)
> 6. All containers of App1 are now recovered when NM registers, and use up the whole queue capacity again.
> 7. Since the queue is full, App2 cannot proceed to allocate AM container.
> 8. In the meanwhile, App1 cannot proceed to become active because of the max-active-app limit
