Property Value

Remarks
A backfill job is a lower priority job that runs before a higher priority job. This ensures that a resource-intensive application will not delay other applications that are ready to run. The job scheduler will schedule a lower priority job if a higher priority job is waiting for resources to become available and the lower priority job can finish with the available resources without delaying the start time of the higher priority job.
For more information, see the BackfillLookahead configuration parameter in the Remarks section of Cluster.SetClusterParameter.
Do not set this property.
