Tez AM is a new and improved implementation of the MapReduce application that supports container reuse. This allows jobs to run faster on clusters that have limited resources per job. On smaller clusters, it reduces the time for a job to finish by efficiently using a container to run more than one task.

These AMs in the pool can, in turn, be configured to pre-allocate a number of containers to allow jobs to be launched and completed faster. To use the Tez Service, the clients must submit the jobs to this service instead of the ResourceManager.

Use the following instructions to install and configure Tez:
