The rescheduler in Borg isn't a scheduler -- it just evicts pods, and then they go into the regular scheduler's pending queue and the regular scheduler decides where to schedule them. (At least that's how it worked at the time I left the project -- I assume it hasn't changed in this regard, but I don't know for sure.)

Because the name is confusing, we called the Kubernetes version of the Borg rescheduler the "descheduler" (https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/descheduler) to make it clear that it doesn't actually schedule, just evicts. (There actually is something in Kubernetes called the "rescheduler" (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/guarante...) but it's a long story and we never should have named it that).
