Chapter 9. YARN – Alternative Solutions

During the development of YARN, many other organizations simultaneously identified the limitations of Hadoop 1.x and were actively involved in developing alternative solutions.

This chapter will briefly talk about such alternate solutions and compare them to YARN. Among the most common frameworks that are closely related to YARN are:

  • Mesos

  • Omega

  • Corona
