PROFILE

Tao Yang

Worked on apache/hadoop to enhance the reliability and performance of YARN’s ResourceManager and scheduler components. Delivered an uncaught exception handler for asynchronous scheduling threads, preventing scheduler hangs and improving fault tolerance. Addressed concurrency issues by replacing non-thread-safe data structures with ConcurrentHashMap in the metrics cache, and optimized scheduler pre-check logic to reduce redundant node checks, accelerating scheduling cycles. Focused on Java-based backend development, distributed systems, and resource management, with extensive use of unit and concurrency testing. Also stabilized CapacityScheduler tests by improving test utilities, reducing flakiness in CI without altering production code, and ensuring more reliable release cycles.

December 2024 (apache/hadoop): Focused reliability hardening for YARN ResourceManager. Delivered an uncaught exception handler for asynchronous scheduling threads to prevent scheduler hangs, ensuring continuous RM operation under fault conditions. Added tests validating behavior during RM failover and simulated exceptions to strengthen resilience across failover events and error scenarios.
