[jira] [Commented] (YARN-160) nodemanagers should obtain cpu/memory values from underlying OS

["Junping Du (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-160?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14100593#comment-14100593 ] 

Junping Du commented on YARN-160:
---------------------------------

Thanks [~vvasudev] for working on this. Just take a quick glance, a few comments:
- The old way to configure resource of NM is still useful, especially when there are other agents running (like: HBase RegionServer). Thus, user need flexibility to calculate resource themselves in some cases, so we should provide another new option instead of removing old way completely.
- Given this is a new feature, we shouldn't change cluster's behavior with old configuration in upgrade prospective. We should keep previous configuration work as usual especially when user use some default settings.

> As mentioned in YARN-2
> *NM memory and CPU configs*
> Currently these values are coming from the config of the NM, we should be able to obtain those values from the OS (ie, in the case of Linux from /proc/meminfo & /proc/cpuinfo). As this is highly OS dependent we should have an interface that obtains this information. In addition implementations of this interface should be able to specify a mem/cpu offset (amount of mem/cpu not to be avail as YARN resource), this would allow to reserve mem/cpu for the OS and other services outside of YARN containers.
