For example, it may be beneficial to co-locate the allocations of a job on the same rack (*affinity* constraints) to reduce network costs, spread allocations across machines (*anti-affinity* constraints) to minimize resource interference, or allow up to a specific number of allocations in a node group (*cardinality* constraints) to strike a balance between the two. Placement decisions also affect resilience. For example, allocations placed within the same cluster upgrade domain would go offline simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
The applications can specify constraints without requiring knowledge of the underlying topology of the cluster (e.g., one does not need to specify the specific node or rack where their containers should be placed with constraints) or the other applications deployed. Currently **intra-application** constraints are supported, but the design that is followed is generic and support for constraints across applications will soon be added. Moreover, all constraints at the moment are **hard**, that is, if the constraints for a container cannot be satisfied due to the current cluster condition or conflicting constraints, the container request will remain pending or get will get rejected.

Note that in this document we use the notion of “allocation” to refer to a unit of resources (e.g., CPU and memory) that gets allocated in a node. In the current implementation of YARN, an allocation corresponds to a single container. However, in case an application uses an allocation to spawn more than one containers, an allocation could correspond to multiple containers.

Note that when the `-placement_spec` argument is specified in the distributed shell command, the `-num-containers` argument should not be used. In case `-num-containers` argument is used in conjunction with `-placement-spec`, the former is ignored. This is because in PlacementSpec, we determine the number of containers per tag, making the `-num-containers` redundant and possibly conflicting. Moreover, if `-placement_spec` is used, all containers will be requested with GUARANTEED execution type.

The above encodes two constraints:
|

The above encodes three constraints:
|
||||
* place 3 containers with tag "zk" (standing for ZooKeeper) with node anti-affinity to each other, i.e., do not place more than one container per node (notice that in this first constraint, the SourceTag and the TargetTag of the constraint coincide);
|
||||
* place 5 containers with tag "hbase" with affinity to a rack on which containers with tag "zk" are running (i.e., an "hbase" container should not be placed at a rack where an "zk" container is running, given that "zk" is the TargetTag of the second constraint);
|
||||
* place 7 container with tag "spark" in nodes that have at least one, but no more than three, containers, with tag "hbase".
|
||||
* place 7 containers with tag "spark" in nodes that have at least one, but no more than three, containers with tag "hbase".
|
||||
|
||||
Another example below demonstrates a composite form of constraint:
|
||||
```
|
||||
zk=5,AND(IN,RACK,hbase:NOTIN,NODE,zk)
|
||||
```
|
||||
The above constraint uses the conjunction operator `AND` to combine two constraints. The AND constraint is satisfied when both its children constraints are satisfied. The specific PlacementSpec requests to place 5 "zk" containers in a rack where at least one "hbase" container is running, and on a node that no "zk" container is running.
|
||||
Similarly, an `OR` operator can be used to define a constraint that is satisfied when at least one of its children constraints is satisfied.
|
||||
Note that in case "zk" and "hbase" are containers belonging to different applications (which is most probably the case in real use cases), the allocation tags in the PlacementSpec should include namespaces, as we describe below (see [Allocation tags namespace](#Allocation_tags_namespace)).

|

Note that instead of using the `ResourceRequest` object to define allocation tags, we use the new `SchedulingRequest` object. This has many similarities with the `ResourceRequest`, but better separates the sizing of the requested allocations (number and size of allocations, priority, execution type, etc.), and the constraints dictating how these allocations should be placed (resource name, relaxed locality). Applications can still use `ResourceRequest` objects, but in order to define allocation tags and constraints, they need to use the `SchedulingRequest` object. Within a single `AllocateRequest`, an application should use either the `ResourceRequest` or the `SchedulingRequest` objects, but not both of them.

$H4 Allocation tags namespace
|
||||
|
||||
Allocation tags might refer to containers of the same or different applications, and are used to express intra- or inter-application constraints, respectively.
|
||||
We use allocation tag namespaces in order to specify the scope of applications that an allocation tag can refer to. By coupling an allocation tag with a namespace, we can restrict whether the tag targets containers that belong to the same application, to a certain group of applications, or to any application in the cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
We currently support the following namespaces:
|
||||
|
||||
| Namespace | Syntax | Description |
|
||||
|:--------- |:-------|:------------|
|
||||
| SELF | `self/${allocationTag}` | The allocation tag refers to containers of the current application (to which the constraint will be applied). This is the default namespace. |
|
||||
| NOT_SELF | `not-self/${allocationTag}` | The allocation tag refers only to containers that do not belong to the current application. |
|
||||
| ALL | `all/${allocationTag}` | The allocation tag refers to containers of any application. |
|
||||
| APP_ID | `app-id/${applicationID}/${allocationTag}` | The allocation tag refers to containers of the application with the specified application ID. |
|
||||
| APP_TAG | `app-tag/application_tag_name/${allocationTag}` | The allocation tag refers to containers of applications that are tagged with the specified application tag. |
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To attach an allocation tag namespace `ns` to a target tag `targetTag`, we use the syntax `ns/allocationTag` in the PlacementSpec. Note that the default namespace is `SELF`, which is used for **intra-app** constraints. The remaining namespace tags are used to specify **inter-app** constraints. When the namespace is not specified next to a tag, `SELF` is assumed.
|
||||
|
||||
The example constraints used above could be extended with namespaces as follows:
|
||||
```
|
||||
zk=3,NOTIN,NODE,not-self/zk:hbase=5,IN,RACK,all/zk:spark=7,CARDINALITY,NODE,app-id/appID_0023/hbase,1,3
|
||||
```
|
||||
The semantics of these constraints are the following:
|
||||
* place 3 containers with tag "zk" (standing for ZooKeeper) to nodes that do not have "zk" containers from other applications running;
|
||||
* place 5 containers with tag "hbase" with affinity to a rack on which containers with tag "zk" (from any application, be it the same or a different one) are running;
|
||||
* place 7 containers with tag "spark" in nodes that have at least one, but no more than three, containers with tag "hbase" belonging to application with ID `appID_0023`.

$H4 Differences between node labels, node attributes and allocation tags
|
||||
|
||||
The difference between allocation tags and node labels or node attributes (YARN-3409), is that allocation tags are attached to allocations and not to nodes. When an allocation gets allocated to a node by the scheduler, the set of tags of that allocation are automatically added to the node for the duration of the allocation. Hence, a node inherits the tags of the allocations that are currently allocated to the node. Likewise, a rack inherits the tags of its nodes. Moreover, similar to node labels and unlike node attributes, allocation tags have no value attached to them. As we show below, our constraints can refer to allocation tags, as well as node labels and node attributes.

$H3 Placement constraints API

Applications can use the public API in the `PlacementConstraints` to construct placement constraint. Before describing the methods for building constraints, we describe the methods of the `PlacementTargets` class that are used to construct the target expressions that will then be used in constraints:
