             Summary: Fair Scheduler Dynamic Hierarchical User Queues
                 Key: YARN-1864
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1864
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: scheduler
            Reporter: Ashwin Shankar
             Fix For: 2.4.0


In Fair Scheduler, we want to be able to create user queues under any parent queue in the hierarchy. For eg. Say user1 submits a job to a parent queue called root.allUserQueues, we want be able to create a new queue called root.allUserQueues.user1 and run user1's job in it.Any further jobs submitted by this user to root.allUserQueues will be run in this newly created root.allUserQueues.user1.
This is very similar to the 'user-as-default' feature in Fair Scheduler which creates user queues under root queue. But we want the ability to create user queues under ANY parent queue.

Why do we want this ?
1. Preemption : these dynamically created user queues can preempt each other if its fair share is not met. So there is fairness among users.
2. Allocation to user queues : we want all the user queries(adhoc) to consume only a fraction of resources in the shared cluster. By creating this feature,we could do that by giving a fair share to the parent user queue which is then redistributed to all the dynamically created user queues.
