 Kube-scheduler is the Kubernetes default scheduler. It is responsible for
 placement of Pods on Nodes in a cluster. Nodes in a cluster that meet the
 scheduling requirements of a Pod are called "feasible" Nodes for the Pod. The
 scheduler finds feasible Nodes for a Pod and then runs a set of functions to
 score the feasible Nodes and picks a Node with the highest score among the
-feasible ones to run the Pod. The scheduler then notifies the API server about this
-decision in a process called "Binding".

 ## Percentage of Nodes to Score
 
-Before Kubernetes 1.12, Kube-scheduler used to check the feasibility of all the
-nodes in a cluster and then scored the feasible ones. Kubernetes 1.12 has a new
-feature that allows the scheduler to stop looking for more feasible nodes once
-it finds a certain number of them. This improves the scheduler's performance in
-large clusters. The number is specified as a percentage of the cluster size and
-is controlled by a configuration option called `percentageOfNodesToScore`. The
-range should be between 1 and 100. Other values are considered as 100%. The
-default value of this option is 50%. A cluster administrator can change this value by providing a
-different value in the scheduler configuration. However, it may not be necessary to change this value.

+Kubernetes 1.14 has logic to find the percentage of nodes to score based on the

+linear formula which yields 50% for a 100-node cluster. The formula yields 10%
+for a 5000-node cluster. The lower bound for the automatic value is 5%. In other

+smaller than 5.

 ### Tuning percentageOfNodesToScore
 
-`percentageOfNodesToScore` must be a value between 1 and 100
-with the default value of 50. There is also a hardcoded minimum value of 50
-nodes which is applied internally. The scheduler tries to find at
-least 50 nodes regardless of the value of `percentageOfNodesToScore`. This means
-that changing this option to lower values in clusters with several hundred nodes
-will not have much impact on the number of feasible nodes that the scheduler
-tries to find. This is intentional as this option is unlikely to improve
-performance noticeably in smaller clusters. In large clusters with over a 1000
-nodes setting this value to lower numbers may show a noticeable performance
-improvement.

 An important note to consider when setting this value is that when a smaller
 number of nodes in a cluster are checked for feasibility, some nodes are not
 sent to be scored for a given Pod. As a result, a Node which could possibly
 score a higher value for running the given Pod might not even be passed to the
 scoring phase. This would result in a less than ideal placement of the Pod. For
 this reason, the value should not be set to very low percentages. A general rule
-of thumb is to never set the value to anything lower than 30. Lower values
+of thumb is to never set the value to anything lower than 10. Lower values
 should be used only when the scheduler's throughput is critical for your
 application and the score of nodes is not important. In other words, you prefer
 to run the Pod on any Node as long as it is feasible.
 
-It is not recommended to lower this value from its default if your cluster has
-only several hundred Nodes. It is unlikely to improve the scheduler's
-performance significantly.
