Description

Currently ResourceUtilization contains absolute quantities of resource used (e.g. 4096MB memory used). It would be good if the NM also communicated the actual physical resource capabilities of the node so that the RM can use this data to schedule more effectively (overcommit, etc)

Currently the only available information is the Resource the node registered with (or later updated using updateNodeResource). However, these aren't really sufficient to get a good view of how utilized a resource is. For example, if a node reports 400% CPU utilization, does that mean it's completely full, or barely utilized? Today there is no reliable way to figure this out.

elgoiri - Lots of good work is happening in YARN-2965 so curious if you have thoughts/opinions on this?
