Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for resource management in a distributed computing environment. In some embodiments, a resource manager for a large distributed cluster needs to be able to provide resource responses very quickly. But each query may also not be accurate in initial resource request and will often have to come back to the resource manager multiple times. An artifact may provide low latency query responses by using resource request caching that can handle re-requests of resources. According to some embodiments, a queuing mechanism may take into account resources currently expended and any resource requirement estimates available in order to make queuing decisions that meet policies set by an administrator. In some embodiments, scheduling decisions are distribute across a cluster of computing systems while still maintaining approximate compliance with resource management policies set by an administrator.
