Dynamic Resource Pools

Minimum Required Role: Configurator (also provided by Cluster Administrator, Full Administrator)

A dynamic resource pool is a named configuration of resources and a policy for scheduling the resources among YARN applications and Impala queries running in the pool. Dynamic resource pools allow you to schedule and allocate resources to YARN applications and Impala queries based on a user's access to specific pools and the resources available to those pools. If a pool's allocation is not in use, it can be preempted and distributed to other pools. Otherwise, a pool receives a share of resources according to the pool's weight. Access control lists (ACLs) restrict who can submit work to dynamic resource pools and administer them.

Configuration Sets define the allocation of resources across pools that can be active at a given time. For example, you can define "daytime" and "off hour" configuration sets, for which you specify different resource allocations during the daytime and for the remaining time of the week.

A scheduling rule defines when a configuration set is active. The configurations in the configuration set are propagated to the fair scheduler allocation file as required by the schedule. The updated files are stored in the YARN ResourceManager configuration directory /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/nn-yarn-RESOURCEMANAGER on the host running the ResourceManager role. See Server and Client Configuration.

The resources available for sharing are subject to the allocations made for each service if static service pools (cgroups) are enforced. For example, if the static pool for YARN is 75% of the total cluster resources, resource pools will use only 75% of resources.

After you create or edit dynamic resource pool settings, Refresh Dynamics Resource Pools and Discard Changes buttons display. Click Refresh Dynamics Resource Pools to propagate the settings to the fair scheduler allocation file (by default, fair-scheduler.xml). The updated files are stored in the YARN ResourceManager configuration directory /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/nn-yarn-RESOURCEMANAGER on the host running the ResourceManager role. See Server and Client Configuration.

For information on determining how allocated resources are used, see Cluster Utilization Reports.

Pool Hierarchy

YARN resource pools can be nested, with subpools restricted by the settings of their parent pool. This allows you to specify a set of pools whose resources are limited by the resources of a parent. Each subpool can have its own resource restrictions; if those restrictions fall within the configuration of the parent pool, the limits for the subpool take effect. If the limits for the subpool exceed those of the parent, the parent pool limits take precedence.

You create a parent pool either by configuring it as a parent or by creating a subpool under the pool. Once a pool is a parent, you cannot submit jobs to that pool; they must be submitted to a subpool.

Managing Dynamic Resource Pools

The main entry point for using dynamic resource pools with Cloudera Manager is the Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration menu item.

Continue reading:

Viewing Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration

Depending on which resource management scenario described in Cloudera Manager Resource Management is in effect, the dynamic resource pool configuration overview displays the following tabs:
  • YARN - Weight, Virtual Cores, Min and Max Memory, Max Running Apps, Max Resources for Undeclared Children, and Scheduling Policy
  • Impala Admission Control - Max Memory, Max Running Queries, Max Queued Queries, Queue Timeout, and Default Query Memory Limit
To view dynamic resource pool configuration:
  1. Select Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration. If the cluster has a YARN service, the YARN > Resource Pools tab displays. If the cluster has an Impala service enabled for dynamic resource pools, the Impala Admission Control > Resource Pools tab displays.
  2. Click the YARN or Impala Admission Control tab.

Creating a YARN Dynamic Resource Pool

There is always a resource pool named root.default. By default, all YARN applications run in this pool. You create additional pools when your workload includes identifiable groups of applications (such as from a particular application, or a particular group within your organization) that have their own requirements.
  1. Select Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration. If the cluster has a YARN service, the YARN > Resource Pools tab displays. If the cluster has an Impala service enabled for dynamic resource pools, the Impala Admission Control > Resource Pools tab displays.
  2. Click the YARN tab.
  3. Click Create Resource Pool. The Create Resource Pool dialog box displays, showing the Resource Limits tab.
  4. Specify a name and resource limits for the pool:
    • In the Resource Pool Name field, specify a unique pool name containing only alphanumeric characters. If referencing a user or group name that contains a ".", replace the "." with "_dot_".
    • To make the pool a parent pool, select the Parent Pool checkbox.
    • Define a configuration set by assigning values to the listed properties. Specify a weight that indicates that pool's share of resources relative to other pools, minimum and maximum for virtual cores and memory, and a limit on the number of applications that can run simultaneously in the pool. If this is a parent pool, you can also set the maximum resources for undeclared children.
    • Click the Scheduling Policy tab and select a policy:
      • Dominant Resource Fairness (DRF) (default) - An extension of fair scheduling for more than one resource. DRF determines CPU and memory resource shares based on the availability of those resources and the job requirements.
      • Fair (FAIR) - Determines resource shares based on memory.
      • First-In, First-Out (FIFO) - Determines resource shares based on when a job was added.
    • If you have enabled Fair Scheduler preemption, click the Preemption tab and optionally set a preemption timeout to specify how long a job in this pool must wait before it can preempt resources from jobs in other pools. To enable preemption, follow the procedure in Enabling and Disabling Fair Scheduler Preemption.
    • If you have enabled ACLs and specified users or groups, optionally click the Submission and Administration Access Control tabs to specify which users and groups can submit applications and which users can view all and kill applications. By default, anyone can submit, view all, and kill applications. To restrict these permissions, select Allow these users and groups and provide a comma-delimited list of users and groups in the Users and Groups fields respectively.
  5. Click Create.
  6. Click Refresh Dynamic Resource Pools.

Enabling and Disabling Dynamic Resource Pools for Impala

By default, admission control and dynamic resource pools for Impala are disabled. Only when both are enabled does the Impala Admission Control tab appear in the Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration tab. To enable and disable Impala dynamic resource pools, follow the procedure in Enabling and Disabling Impala Admission Control Using Cloudera Manager.

Creating an Impala Dynamic Resource Pool

There is always a resource pool designated as root.default. By default, all Impala queries run in this pool when the dynamic resource pool feature is enabled for Impala. You create additional pools when your workload includes identifiable groups of queries (such as from a particular application, or a particular group within your organization) that have their own requirements for concurrency, memory use, or service level agreement (SLA). Each pool has its own settings related to memory, number of queries, and timeout interval.

  1. Select Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration. If the cluster has a YARN service, the YARN > Resource Pools tab displays. If the cluster has an Impala service enabled for dynamic resource pools, the Impala Admission Control > Resource Pools tab displays.
  2. Click the Impala Admission Control tab.
  3. Click Create Resource Pool.
  4. Specify a name and resource limits for the pool:
    • In the Resource Pool Name field, type a unique name containing only alphanumeric characters.
    • Optionally click the Submission Access Control tab to specify which users and groups can submit queries. By default, anyone can submit queries. To restrict this permission, select the Allow these users and groups option and provide a comma-delimited list of users and groups in the Users and Groups fields respectively.
  5. Click Create.
  6. Click Refresh Dynamic Resource Pools.

Choosing Settings for an Impala Dynamic Resource Pool

Impala dynamic resource pools support the following settings:
Max Memory
The maximum amount of aggregate memory, cluster-wide, that can be used by all queries running concurrently in the pool. In conjunction with Default Query Memory Limit and the number of Impala hosts in the cluster, Impala determines the expected maximum memory used by all queries in the pool and holds back any further queries once the estimated upper limit is reached.
  Note: If you specify Max Memory for an Impala dynamic resource pool, you must also specify the Default Query Memory Limit. Max Memory relies on the Default Query Memory Limit to produce a reliable estimate of overall memory consumption for a query.
For example, consider the following scenario:
  • The cluster is running impalad daemons on five DataNodes.
  • A dynamic resource pool has Max Memory set to 100 GB.
  • The Default Query Memory Limit for the pool is 10 GB. Therefore, any query running in this pool could use up to 50 GB of memory (default query memory limit * number of Impala nodes).
  • The maximum number of queries that Impala executes concurrently within this dynamic resource pool is two, which is the most that could be accomodated within the 100 GB Max Memory cluster-wide limit.
  • There is no memory penalty if queries use less memory than the Default Query Memory Limit per-host setting or the Max Memory cluster-wide limit. These values are only used to estimate how many queries can be run concurrently within the resource constraints for the pool.
Max Running Queries
The maximum number of queries that can run concurrently in this pool. The default value is unlimited. Any queries for this pool that exceed Max Running Queries are added to the admission control queue until other queries finish. You can use Max Running Queries in the early stages of resource management, when you do not have extensive data about query memory usage, to determine if the cluster performs better overall if throttling is applied to Impala queries.

For a workload with many small queries, you typically specify a high value for this setting, or leave the default setting of "unlimited". For a workload with expensive queries, where some number of concurrent queries saturate the memory, I/O, CPU, or network capacity of the cluster, set the value low enough that the cluster resources are not overcommitted for Impala.

Once you have enabled memory-based admission control using other pool settings, you can still use Max Running Queries as a safeguard. If queries exceed either the total estimated memory or the maximum number of concurrent queries, they are added to the queue.

Max Queued Queries
The maximum number of queries that can be in the admission control queue for a pool at any one time. Additional queries cannot be added to the queue until other queries begin running, reducing the queue size. The default value is 200. Typically, this value does not need to be adjusted. If a large number of queries are queued, you can change other parameters such as the timeout interval, or you can increase the pool capacity.
Queue Timeout
The amount of time, in milliseconds, that a query waits in the admission control queue for this pool before being canceled. The default value is 60,000 (60 seconds).
It the following cases, Queue Timeout is not significant and you can specify a high value to avoid canceling queries unexpectedly:
  • In a low-concurrency workload, where few or no queries are queued
  • In an environment without a strict SLA, where it does not matter if queries occasionally take longer than usual because they are held in admission control
You might also need to increase the value to use Impala with some business intelligence tools that have their own timeout intervals for queries.

In a high-concurrency workload, especially for queries with a tight SLA, long wait times in admission control can cause a serious problem. For example, if a query needs to run in 10 seconds, and you have tuned it so that it runs in 8 seconds, it violates its SLA if it waits in the admission control queue longer than 2 seconds. In a case like this, set a low timeout value and monitor how many queries are cancelled because of timeouts. This technique helps you to discover capacity, tuning, and scaling problems early, and helps avoid wasting resources by running expensive queries that have already missed their SLA.

If you identify some queries that can have a high timeout value, and others that benefit from a low timeout value, you can create separate pools with different values for this setting.

Default Query Memory Limit
The equivalent of setting the MEM_LIMIT query option for each query that runs in this pool. This value represents the maximum memory the query can use on each host. If the query exceeds that memory on a host, it activates spill-to-disk, and could be canceled if available memory is too low. Impala multiplies this default memory limit value by the number of Impala hosts in the cluster to estimate how many queries fit within the total RAM represented by Max Memory, which represents a cluster-wide limit.

Cloning a Resource Pool

To create a new pool with the same properties as an existing pool, you can clone a pool:

  3. For each resource pool, click Edit.
    1. Select a configuration set name.
    2. Edit the configuration set properties and click Save.
  4. Click Refresh Dynamic Resource Pools.

Example Configuration Sets

The Daytime configuration set assigns the production pool five times the resources of the development pool:

The Off Hour configuration set assigns the production and development pools an equal amount of resources:

See example scheduling rules for these configuration sets.

Viewing the Properties of a Configuration Set

  1. Select Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration. If the cluster has a YARN service, the YARN > Resource Pools tab displays. If the cluster has an Impala service enabled for dynamic resource pools, the Impala Admission Control > Resource Pools tab displays.
  2. In the Configuration Sets drop-down list, select a configuration set. The properties of each pool for that configuration set display.

Scheduling Configuration Sets

A scheduling rule defines when a configuration set is active. The configurations in the configuration set are propagated to the fair scheduler allocation file as required by the schedule. The updated files are stored in the YARN ResourceManager configuration directory /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/nn-yarn-RESOURCEMANAGER on the host running the ResourceManager role. See Server and Client Configuration.

Example Scheduling Rules

Consider the example Daytime and Off Hour configuration sets. To specify that the Daytime configuration set is active every weekday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the Off Hour configuration set is active all other times (evenings and weekends), define the following rules:

Adding a Scheduling Rule

  1. Select Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration. If the cluster has a YARN service, the YARN > Resource Pools tab displays. If the cluster has an Impala service enabled for dynamic resource pools, the Impala Admission Control > Resource Pools tab displays.
  2. Click the Scheduling Rules tab.

  5. Click Refresh Dynamic Resource Pools.

Assigning Applications and Queries to Resource Pools

You can specify at run time that an application or query should run in a named resource pool. To specify a pool at run time for a YARN application, provide the pool name in the mapreduce.job.queuename property. To specify a pool at run time for an Impala query, provide the pool name in the REQUEST_POOL option.

Cloudera Manager allows you to specify a set of ordered rules for assigning applications and queries to pools. You can also specify default pool settings directly in the YARN fair scheduler configuration.

Some rules allow to you specify that the pool be created in the dynamic resource pool configuration if it does not already exist. Allowing pools to be created is optional. If a rule is satisfied and you do not create a pool, YARN runs the job "ad hoc" in a pool to which resources are not assigned or managed.

If no rule is satisfied when the application or query runs, the YARN application or Impala query is rejected.

Placement Rule Ordering and Evaluation

Pool placement rules are evaluated in the order in which they appear in the placement rule list. When a job is submitted, the rules are evaluated, and the first matching rule is used to determine the pool in which the job is run.

If a rule is always satisfied, subsequent rules are not evaluated. Rules that are never evaluated appear in struck-though gray text. For an example see Example Placement Rules.

By default, pool placement rules are ordered in reverse order of when they were added; the last rule added appears first. You can easily reorder rules.

Creating Pool Placement Rules

Placement rules determine the pools to which applications and queries are assigned. At installation, Cloudera Manager provides a set of default rules and rule ordering.

To create a placement rule:
  1. Select Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration. If the cluster has a YARN service, the YARN > Resource Pools tab displays. If the cluster has an Impala service enabled for dynamic resource pools, the Impala Admission Control > Resource Pools tab displays.
  2. Click the YARN or Impala Admission Control tab.
  3. Click the Placement Rules tab.
  4. Click Create Placement Rule. In the Type drop-down list, select a rule that specifies the name of pool and its position in the pool hierarchy:
    • YARN
      • specified at run time - Use root.[pool name], where pool name is the name of the pool specified at run time.
      • root.users.[username] - Use the parent pool root.users in a pool named by the user submitting the application.The root.users parent pool and this rule are created by default. However, on upgrading from Cloudera Manager 5.7, neither the pool or placement rule is added.
      • root.default - Use root.default.
      • root.[pool name] - Use root.pool name, where pool name is the name you specify in the Pool Name field that displays after you select the rule.
      • root.[primary group] - Use the pool that matches the primary group of the user submitting the application.
      • root.[secondary group] - Use the pool that matches one of the secondary groups of the user that submitted the application.
      • root.[username] - Use the pool that matches the name of the user that submitted the application.
      • root.[primary group].[username] - Use the parent pool that matches the primary group of the user that submitted the application and then a subpool that matches the username.
      • root.[secondary group].[username] - Use the parent pool that matches one of the secondary groups of the user that submitted the application and then a subpool that matches the username.
    • Impala
      • specified at run time - Use root.[pool name], where pool name is the name of the pool specified at run time.
      • root.default - Use root.default.
      • root.[pool name] - Use root.pool name, where pool name is the name you specify in the Pool Name field that displays after you select the rule.
      • root.[primary group] - Use the pool that matches the primary group of the user that submitted the query.
      • root.[secondary group] - Use the pool that matches one of the secondary groups of the user that submitted the query.
      • root.[username] - Use the pool that matches the name of the user that submitted the query.
    For more information about these rules, see the description of the queuePlacementPolicy element in Allocation File Format.
  5. (YARN only) To indicate that the pool should be created if it does not exist when the application runs, check the Create pool if it does not exist checkbox.
  6. Click Create. The rule is added to the top of the placement rule list and becomes the first rule evaluated.
  7. Click Refresh Dynamic Resource Pools.

Default Placement Rules and Order

The default placement rules and order for YARN are:
  1. Use the pool specified at run time and create the pool if it does not exist.
  2. Use the pool root.users.[username].
  3. Use the pool root.default.
Also see Example Placement Rules.
The default rules and order for Impala are:
  1. Use the pool specified at run time, only if the pool exists.
  2. Use the pool root.default.

Reordering Pool Placement Rules

To change the order in which pool placement rules are evaluated:

  1. Select Clusters > Cluster name > Dynamic Resource Pool Configuration. If the cluster has a YARN service, the YARN > Resource Pools tab displays. If the cluster has an Impala service enabled for dynamic resource pools, the Impala Admission Control > Resource Pools tab displays.
  2. Click the YARN or Impala Admission Control tab.
  3. Click the Placement Rules tab.
  4. Click Reorder Placement Rules.
  5. Click Move Up or Move Down in a rule row.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Click Refresh Dynamic Resource Pools.

Example Placement Rules

The following figures show the default pool placement rule setting for YARN:



If a pool is specified at run time, that pool is used for the job and the pool is created if it did not exist. If no pool is specified at run time, a pool named according to the user submitting the job within the root.users parent pool is used. If that pool cannot be used (for example, because the root.users pool is a leaf pool), pool root.default is used.

If you move rule 2 down (which specifies to run the job in a pool named after the user running the job nested within the parent pool root.users), rule 2 becomes disabled because the previous rule (Use the pool root.default) is always satisfied.
