A YARN scheduler allocates resources to YARN queues and determines how the jobs that are submitted to a queue can use the allocated resources. You can use a fair scheduler or a capacity scheduler depending on your organization's policies on sharing resources.

A YARN queue is an organizing structures for jobs that run on the cluster. You can redirect Blaze, Spark, and Hive jobs to specific queues. The jobs in a queue can access the resources that are allocated to the queue by a YARN scheduler.

Node labels divide a cluster into partitions. Each partition is a collection of nodes that have specific characteristics. You can run jobs in a partition to allow jobs to utilize a node's particular characteristics.
