             Summary: A queue which runs a long time job couldn't acquire any container for long time.
                 Key: YARN-6568
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6568
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fairscheduler
    Affects Versions: 2.7.1
         Environment: CentOS 7.1
            Reporter: zhengchenyu
             Fix For: 2.7.4


In our cluster, we find some applications couldn't acquire any container for long time. (Note: we use FairSharePolicy and FairScheduler)

First, I found some unreasonable configuration, we set minRes=maxRes. So some application keep pending for long time, we kill some large applicaiton to solve this problem. Then we changed this configuration, this problem relieves. 

But this problem is not completely solved. In our cluster, I found applications in  some queue which request few container keep pending for long time. 

I simulate in test cluster. I submit DistributedShell application which run many loo applications to queueA, then I submit my own yarn application which request container and release container constantly to queueB.  At this time, any applicaitons which are submmited to queueA keep pending!

We know this is the problem of FairSharePolicy, it consider the request of queue. So after sort the queues, some queues which have few request are ordered last all time.

We know if the AM container is launched, then the request will increase, But FairSharePolicy can't distinguish which request is AM request. I think if am container is assigned, the problem is solved. 

Our companion discuss this problem. we recommend set a timeout for queue, it means the time length of a queue is not assigned. If timeout, we set this queue to the first place of queues list.
