Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-3296:
------------------------------------

bq. but I don't understand the purpose of the new counter (it could also use an 
entry in JobInProgress_Counter.properties, btw) ....
The reason is that if there are more than 2 levels in the task cache (e.g 
local/rack/gateway/...) then there is no way to know if the maps were scheduled 
locally (at a level above rack) or not. Thanks for the review.

> Some levels are skipped while creating the task cache in JobInProgress

> Consider the following piece of code
> {code:title=JobInProgress.createCache()|borderStyle=solid}
> Node node = jobtracker.resolveAndAddToTopology(host);
> for (int j = 0; j < maxLevel; j++) {
>           node = JobTracker.getParentNode(node, j);
>           .....
> {code}
> With {{maxLevel > 2}} the caches will be created in the following order
> ||j||node-level||
> |0|0|
> |1|1|
> |2|3|
> |3|6|
> which is not as desired.
