Raymond Liu commented on YARN-4125:
-----------------------------------

[~kasha@cloudera.com] regarding provide the information about largest container allocatable.  how would you decide the value? 
say if the <memory, cpu> capability is:
<4096, 0>
<3172, 1>
<2048, 2>
<1024, 3>
<0, 4>
which one will be the largest container allocatable?

> Today, headroom is an indicator to an application on the resources available to it. It is an aggregate across all nodes. If all the nodes have either only memory or only cpu available, no container can be allocated. The headroom should hint at this too, so apps can make decisions sooner. MAPREDUCE-6470 is a case of this, and has an example for the curious. 
> May be, we should add an API that returns both aggregate headroom and large container allocatable.
