Common Yarn Parameters

Allocating Queue Resources

The Yarn service provides one queue (default) for users. Users allocate system resources to each queue. After the configuration is complete, you can click Refresh Queue or restart the Yarn service for the configuration to take effect.

Navigation path for setting parameters:

On Manager, choose Tenant Resources > Dynamic Resource Plan > Queue Configuration.

The following uses the default tenant who modifies the Superior scheduler as an example. The configurations of other queues are similar. Click Modify to edit the parameters.

Table 1 Queue configuration parameters

Parameter

Description

Max Master Shares(%)

Indicates the maximum percentage of resources occupied by all ApplicationMasters in the current queue.

Max Allocated vCores

Indicates the maximum number of cores that can be allocated to a single YARN container in the current queue. The default value is -1, indicating that the number of cores is not limited within the value range.

Max Allocated Memory(MB)

Indicates the maximum memory that can be allocated to a single YARN container in the current queue. The default value is -1, indicating that the memory is not limited within the value range.

Max Running Apps

Maximum number of tasks that can be executed at the same time in the current queue. The default value is -1, indicating that the number is not limited within the value range (the meaning is the same if the value is empty). The value 0 indicates that the task cannot be executed. The value ranges from -1 to 2147483647.

Max Running Apps per User

Maximum number of tasks that can be executed by each user in the current queue at the same time. The default value is -1, indicating that the number is not limited within the value range. If the value is 0, the task cannot be executed. The value ranges from -1 to 2147483647.

Max Pending Apps

Maximum number of tasks that can be suspended at the same time in the current queue. The default value is -1, indicating that the number is not limited within the value range (the meaning is the same if the value is empty). The value 0 indicates that tasks cannot be suspended. The value ranges from -1 to 2147483647.

Resource Allocation Rule

Indicates the rule for allocating resources to different tasks of a user. The rule can be FIFO or FAIR.

If a user submits multiple tasks in the current queue and the rule is FIFO, the tasks are executed one by one in sequential order; if the rule is FAIR, resources are evenly allocated to all tasks.

Default Resource Label

Indicates that tasks are executed on a node with a specified resource label.

Active
  • ACTIVE: indicates that the current queue can receive and execute tasks.
  • INACTIVE: indicates that the current queue can receive but cannot execute tasks. Tasks submitted to the queue are suspended.

Open
  • OPEN: indicates that the current queue is opened.
  • CLOSED: indicates that the current queue is closed. Tasks submitted to the queue are rejected.

Displaying Container Logs on the Web UI

By default, the system collects container logs to HDFS. If you do not need to collect container logs to HDFS, configure the parameters in Table 2. For details, see Modifying Cluster Service Configuration Parameters.

Table 2 Parameter description

Parameter

Description

Default Value

yarn.log-aggregation-enable

Select whether to collect container logs to HDFS.

  • If the parameter is set to true, container logs are collected to an HDFS directory. The default directory is {yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir}/${user}/{thisParam}. You can set the directory by setting the yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir-suffix parameter on the web UI.
  • If this parameter is set to false, container logs will not be collected to HDFS.

After changing the parameter value, restart the Yarn service for the setting to take effect.

NOTE:

The container logs that are generated before the parameter is set to false and the setting takes effect cannot be obtained from the web UI. You can obtain container logs from the directory specified by the yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir-suffix parameter before the setting takes effect.

If you want to view the logs generated before on the web UI, you are advised to set this parameter to true.

true

Increasing the Number of Historical Jobs to Be Displayed on the web UI

By default, the Yarn web UI supports task list pagination. A maximum of 5,000 historical jobs can be displayed on each page, and a maximum of 10,000 historical jobs can be retained. If you need to view more jobs on the WebUI, configure parameters by referring to Table 3. For details, see Modifying Cluster Service Configuration Parameters.

Table 3 Parameter description

Parameter

Description

Default Value

yarn.resourcemanager.max-completed-applications

Set the total number of historical jobs to be displayed on the web UI.

10000

yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.pagination.enable

Select whether to enable the job list background pagination function for the Yarn web UI.

true

yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.pagination.threshold

Set the maximum number of jobs displayed on each page after the job list background pagination function of the Yarn web UI is enabled.

5000
  • If a large number of historical jobs are displayed, the performance will be affected and the time for opening the Yarn web UI will be increased. Therefore, you are advised to enable the background pagination function and modify the yarn.resourcemanager.max-completed-applications parameter according to the actual hardware performance.
  • After changing the parameter value, restart the Yarn service for the setting to take effect.
