[Swift-devel] Data-aware scheduling in Swift ?

I believe that Swift will schedule true work on any node that becomes available for work. It does not give preference to a node for to take advantage of data locality. 

As far as I know there is no way to configure Swift to use data aware scheduling. This is Swift's default behavior.
