A node within a cluster is the location where tasks are run. The tasks are launched with help of a daemon which resides inside the node. This daemon, in the case of Mesos, is Mesos Slave, and in case of YARN, is Node Manager.

Note

At this time, YARN's Node Manager only works with the CPU subsystem.

The cgroups Linux kernel feature allows aggregating/partitioning a set of tasks and their future children into hierarchical groups with respect to one or more subsystems. For example: When cgroups are enabled for the CPU subsystem, and a task is launched by Mesos Slave, it goes under the following hierarchy:

Code Block
languagebash
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/mesos/<parent-task-id>

 

During the life cycle of this task, if it launches one or more children, they get mounted under the parent task’s hierarchy and can be configured to only use as much resources as the parent task is allowed to:
