Hi all,
     when you divide up resources e.g. on CapacityScheduler or
FairScheduler etc., what does x% or resources mean? So, for example, a
guranteed 70% meant to indicate you can have up to
70% of the containers clusterwide irrespective of size of container
70% of the containers  on each node
or should it not be number of containers but sum of heap sizes?

Cheers
Chris Mawata
