Fangorn: Adaptive Execution Framework for Heterogeneous Workloads on Shared Clusters

Summary: Fangorn is an adaptive execution framework on shared clusters, built on an enriched graph model to orchestrate heterogeneous workloads with both long-running and on-demand resources. Runtime statistics and pluggable components enable cross-engine adaptation (relational to DL) on Alibaba production clusters, handling tens of millions of jobs daily, from one to half-million.
