Yarn Scheduler

Yarn Scheduler
• The Scheduler in YARN is totally dedicated to scheduling the jobs, it
can not track the status of the application. On the basis of required
resources, the scheduler performs or we can say schedule the Jobs.
Yarn Scheduler
There are mainly 3 types of Schedulers in Hadoop:
• FIFO (First In First Out) Scheduler.
• Capacity Scheduler.
• Fair Scheduler.
• These Schedulers are actually a kind of algorithm that we use to
schedule tasks in a Hadoop cluster when we receive requests from
different-different clients.
Job Queue
• A Job queue is nothing but the collection of various tasks that we
have received from our various clients. The tasks are available in the
queue and we need to schedule this task on the basis of our
requirements.
FIFO Scheduler
• As the name suggests FIFO i.e. First In First Out, so the tasks or
application that comes first will be served first. This is the default
Scheduler we use in Hadoop.
• The tasks are placed in a queue and the tasks are performed in their
submission order. In this method, once the job is scheduled, no
intervention is allowed.
• So sometimes the high-priority process has to wait for a long time
since the priority of the task does not matter in this method.
Advantages & Disadvantages
• Advantages
• No need for configuration
• First Come First Serve
• simple to execute
• Disadvantage:
• Priority of task doesn’t matter, so high priority jobs need to wait
• Not suitable for shared cluster
Capacity Scheduler
• In Capacity Scheduler we have multiple job queues for scheduling our tasks.
• The Capacity Scheduler allows multiple occupants to share a large size
Hadoop cluster.
• In Capacity Scheduler corresponding for each job queue, we provide some
slots or cluster resources for performing job operation.
• Each job queue has it’s own slots to perform its task.
• In case we have tasks to perform in only one queue then the tasks of that
queue can access the slots of other queues also as they are free to use, and
when the new task enters to some other queue then jobs in e then running
in its own slots of the cluster are replaced with its own job.
Advantages & Disadvantages
• Advantage:
• Best for working with Multiple clients or priority jobs in a Hadoop cluster
• Maximizes throughput in the Hadoop cluster
• Disadvantage:
• More complex
• Not easy to configure for everyone
Fair Scheduler
• The Fair Scheduler is very much similar to that of the capacity
scheduler.
• The priority of the job is kept in consideration. With the help of Fair
Scheduler, the YARN applications can share the resources in the large
Hadoop Cluster and these resources are maintained dynamically so
no need for prior capacity.
• The resources are distributed in such a manner that all applications
within a cluster get an equal amount of time.
• Fair Scheduler takes Scheduling decisions on the basis of memory, we
can configure it to work with CPU also.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages:
• Resources assigned to each application depend upon its priority.
• it can limit the concurrent running task in a particular pool or queue.
Disadvantages:
• The configuration is required.
