A model to represent the locality information of an application. The locality information refers to the
whereabouts of the physical execution of a samza container. This locality information is used
to place the container, if possible, on the same host that it was last seen. By doing this, stateful applications
can minimize the bootstrap time of their state by leveraging the local copy.
It is suffice to have only
ProcessorLocality
model and use it within locality manager. However, this abstraction
enables us extend locality beyond container. e.g. It is useful to track task locality to enable heterogeneous containers
or fine grained execution model.
In YARN deployment model, processors are interchangeably used for container and
processorIdrefers to
logical container id.
