Queuing systems with redundant requests have drawn great attention because of their promise to reduce the job completion time and variability. Despite a large body of work on the topic, we are still far from fully understanding the benefits of redundancy in practice. We here take one step towards practical systems by studying queuing systems with bi-modal job service time distribution. Such distributions have been observed in practice, as can be seen in, e.g., Google cluster traces. We develop an analogy to a classical urns and balls problem, and use it to study the queuing time performance of two non-adaptive classical scheduling policies: random and round-robin. We introduce new performance indicators in the analogous model, and argue that they are good predictors of the queuing time in non-adaptive scheduling policies. We then propose a non-adaptive scheduling policy that is based on combinatorial designs, and show that it has better performance indicators. Simulations confirm that the proposed scheduling policy, as the performance indicators suggest, reduces the queuing times compared to random and round-robin scheduling.
