YARN scheduler policies
As explained in the previous section, the ResourceManager acts as a pluggable global scheduler that manages and controls all the containers (resources). There are three different policies that can be applied over the scheduler, as per requirements and resource availability. They are as follows:
- The FIFO scheduler
- The Fair scheduler
- The Capacity scheduler
