Using CGroups with YARN Using Cgroups with YARN
======================= =======================
<!-- MACRO{toc|fromDepth=0|toDepth=3} --> <!-- MACRO{toc|fromDepth=0|toDepth=3} -->
CGroups is a mechanism for aggregating/partitioning sets of tasks, and all their future children, into hierarchical groups with specialized behaviour. CGroups is a Linux kernel feature and was merged into kernel version 2.6.24. From a YARN perspective, this allows containers to be limited in their resource usage. A good example of this is CPU usage. Without CGroups, it becomes hard to limit container CPU usage. Cgroups is a mechanism for aggregating/partitioning sets of tasks, and all their future children, into hierarchical groups with specialized behaviour. Cgroups (v1) is a Linux kernel feature and was merged into kernel version 2.6.24, while Control Group v2 is available since the kernel version 4.5. From a YARN perspective, this allows containers to be limited in their resource usage. A good example of this is CPU usage. Without cgroups, it becomes hard to limit container CPU usage.
CGroups Configuration Cgroups Configuration
--------------------- ---------------------
This section describes the configuration variables for using CGroups. This section describes the configuration variables for using cgroups.
The following settings are related to setting up CGroups. These need to be set in *yarn-site.xml*. The following settings are related to setting up cgroups. These need to be set in *yarn-site.xml*.
|Configuration Name | Description | |Configuration Name | Description |
|:---- |:---- | |:---- |:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `yarn.nodemanager.container-executor.class` | This should be set to "org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.LinuxContainerExecutor". CGroups is a Linux kernel feature and is exposed via the LinuxContainerExecutor. | | `yarn.nodemanager.container-executor.class` | This should be set to "org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.LinuxContainerExecutor". Cgroups is a Linux kernel feature and is exposed via the LinuxContainerExecutor. |
| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.resources-handler.class` | This should be set to "org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.util.CgroupsLCEResourcesHandler". Using the LinuxContainerExecutor doesn't force you to use CGroups. If you wish to use CGroups, the resource-handler-class must be set to CGroupsLCEResourceHandler. DefaultLCEResourcesHandler won't work. | | `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.resources-handler.class` | This should be set to "org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.util.CgroupsLCEResourcesHandler". Using the LinuxContainerExecutor doesn't force you to use cgroups. If you wish to use cgroups, the resource-handler-class must be set to CGroupsLCEResourceHandler. DefaultLCEResourcesHandler won't work. |
| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.hierarchy` | The cgroups hierarchy under which to place YARN proccesses(cannot contain commas). If yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount is false (that is, if cgroups have been pre-configured) and the YARN user has write access to the parent directory, then the directory will be created. If the directory already exists, the administrator has to give YARN write permissions to it recursively. | | `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.v2.enabled` | A property to enable cgroup v2 support. Setting this to true YARN will try to use the cgroup v2 structure and controllers. If this setting is true, but no unified (v2) hierarchy is mounted it will automatically fall back to v1. Defaults to false. |
| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount` | Whether the LCE should attempt to mount cgroups if not found - can be true or false. | | `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.hierarchy` | The cgroups hierarchy under which to place YARN proccesses (cannot contain commas). If `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount` is false (that is, if cgroups have been pre-configured) and the YARN user has write access to the parent directory, then the directory will be created. If the directory already exists, the administrator has to give YARN write permissions to it recursively. |
| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount-path` | Optional. Where CGroups are located. LCE will try to mount them here, if `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount` is true. LCE will try to use CGroups from this location, if `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount` is false. If specified, this path and its subdirectories (CGroup hierarchies) must exist and they should be readable and writable by YARN before the NodeManager is launched. See CGroups mount options below for details. | | `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount` | Whether the LCE should attempt to mount cgroups if not found - can be true or false. Mounting is not supported with cgroup v2. |
| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.group` | The Unix group of the NodeManager. It should match the setting in "container-executor.cfg". This configuration is required for validating the secure access of the container-executor binary. | | `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount-path` | Optional. Where cgroup is located. LCE will try to mount them here, if `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount` is true (and cgroup v1 is used). LCE will try to use cgroups from this location, if `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.mount` is false. If specified, this path and its subdirectories (cgroup hierarchies) must exist and they should be readable and writable by YARN before the NodeManager is launched. See Cgroups mount options below for details. |
| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.v2.mount-path` | Optional. Where cgroup v2 is located. This property needs to be specified only if both cgroup v1 and v2 is used. For example in mixed mode cgroup v1 controllers can be mounted under /sys/fs/cgroup/ (i.e. /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct), while v2 can be mounted in /sys/fs/cgroup/unified folder. If specified, this path (cgroup v2 hierarchy) must exist and it should be readable and writable by YARN before the NodeManager is launched. |
| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.group` | The Unix group of the NodeManager. It should match the setting in "container-executor.cfg". This configuration is required for validating the secure access of the container-executor binary. |

| `yarn.nodemanager.resource.percentage-physical-cpu-limit` | This setting lets you limit the cpu usage of all YARN containers. It sets a hard upper limit on the cumulative CPU usage of the containers. For example, if set to 60, the combined CPU usage of all YARN containers will not exceed 60%. | | `yarn.nodemanager.resource.percentage-physical-cpu-limit` | This setting lets you limit the cpu usage of all YARN containers.

| `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.strict-resource-usage` | CGroups allows cpu usage limits to be hard or soft. When this setting is true, containers cannot use more CPU usage than allocated even if spare CPU is available. This ensures that containers can only use CPU that they were allocated. When set to false, containers can use spare CPU if available. It should be noted that irrespective of whether set to true or false, at no time can the combined CPU usage of all containers exceed the value specified in "yarn.nodemanager.resource.percentage-physical-cpu-limit". | | `yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.cgroups.strict-resource-usage` | Cgroups allows cpu usage limits to be hard or soft.

Common locations include `/sys/fs/cgroup` and `/cgroup`.

CGroups and security Cgroups and security
-------------------- --------------------
CGroups itself has no requirements related to security. However, the LinuxContainerExecutor does have some requirements. If running in non-secure mode, by default, the LCE runs all jobs as user "nobody". This user can be changed by setting "yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.nonsecure-mode.local-user" to the desired user. However, it can also be configured to run jobs as the user submitting the job. In that case "yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.nonsecure-mode.limit-users" should be set to false.
