<!-- This is the configuration file for the resource manager in Hadoop. -->
<!-- You can configure various scheduling parameters related to queues. -->
<!-- The properties for a queue follow a naming convention,such as, -->
<!-- mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.<queue-name>.property-name. -->

<configuration>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.capacity</name>
    <value>100</value>
    <description>Percentage of the number of slots in the cluster that are
      to be available for jobs in this queue.
    </description>    
  </property>
  
  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.supports-priority</name>
    <value>false</value>
    <description>If true, priorities of jobs will be taken into 
      account in scheduling decisions.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.minimum-user-limit-percent</name>
    <value>100</value>
    <description> Each queue enforces a limit on the percentage of resources 
    allocated to a user at any given time, if there is competition for them. 
    This user limit can vary between a minimum and maximum value. The former
    depends on the number of users who have submitted jobs, and the latter is
    set to this property value. For example, suppose the value of this 
    property is 25. If two users have submitted jobs to a queue, no single 
    user can use more than 50% of the queue resources. If a third user submits
    a job, no single user can use more than 33% of the queue resources. With 4 
    or more users, no user can use more than 25% of the queue's resources. A 
    value of 100 implies no user limits are imposed. 
    </description>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.maximum-initialized-jobs-per-user</name>
    <value>2</value>
    <description>The maximum number of jobs to be pre-initialized for a user
    of the job queue.
    </description>
  </property>
  
  <!-- The default configuration settings for the capacity task scheduler -->
  <!-- The default values would be applied to all the queues which don't have -->
  <!-- the appropriate property for the particular queue -->
  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.default-supports-priority</name>
    <value>false</value>
    <description>If true, priorities of jobs will be taken into 
      account in scheduling decisions by default in a job queue.
    </description>
  </property>
  
  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.default-minimum-user-limit-percent</name>
    <value>100</value>
    <description>The percentage of the resources limited to a particular user
      for the job queue at any given point of time by default.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.default-maximum-initialized-jobs-per-user</name>
    <value>2</value>
    <description>The maximum number of jobs to be pre-initialized for a user
    of the job queue.
    </description>
  </property>


  <!-- Capacity scheduler Job Initialization configuration parameters -->
  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.init-poll-interval</name>
    <value>5000</value>
    <description>The amount of time in miliseconds which is used to poll 
    the job queues for jobs to initialize.
    </description>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.init-worker-threads</name>
    <value>5</value>
    <description>Number of worker threads which would be used by
    Initialization poller to initialize jobs in a set of queue.
    If number mentioned in property is equal to number of job queues
    then a single thread would initialize jobs in a queue. If lesser
    then a thread would get a set of queues assigned. If the number
    is greater then number of threads would be equal to number of 
    job queues.
