Hemanth Yamijala updated HADOOP-5784:
-------------------------------------

    Release Note: Introduced a configuration parameter, 
mapred.heartbeats.in.second, as an expert option, that defines how many 
heartbeats a jobtracker can process in a second. Administrators can set this to 
an appropriate value based on cluster size and expected processing time on the 
jobtracker to achieve a balance between jobtracker scalability and latency of 
jobs.

> The length of the heartbeat cycle should be configurable.

> Currently, the hearbeat cycle is set to (# nodes / 100) in seconds. This can 
> be too long for clusters that need to run low latency jobs. We should make 
> the number of heartbeats that should arrive a second configurable.
