On a cache miss, if you don't mind returning a virgin task ahead of a failed
task,

This is unacceptable. We used to have this behavior and it was very bad. If map
0 fails deterministically, you absolutely do not want all 200,000 maps to fail
4 times each before the job fails.

> I ran a job with 0 reducer on a cluster with 390 nodes.
> The mappers ran very fast.
> The jobtracker lacks behind on committing completed mapper tasks.
> The number of running mappers displayed on web UI getting bigger and bigger.
> The jos tracker eventually stopped responding to web UI.
> No progress is reported afterwards.
> Job tracker is running on a separate node.
> The job tracker process consumed 100% cpu, with vm size 1.01g (reach the heap
> space limit).
