Supervisor: Professor Samer Al-Kiswany

We present a comprehensive empirical study of the impact partial network partitions have on cluster managers in data analysis frameworks. Our study shows that modern scheduling approaches are vulnerable to partial network partitions. Partial partitions can lead to a complete cluster pause or a significant loss of performance.
