Ability to pause/resume tasks
-----------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-3687
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3687
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: mapred
            Reporter: Chris Smith
            Priority: Minor


It would be nice to be able to pause (and subsequently resume) tasks that are 
currently running, in order to allow tasks from higher priority jobs to 
execute. At present it is quite easy for long-running tasks from low priority 
jobs to block a task from a newer high priority job, and there is no way to 
force the execution of the high priority task without killing the low priority 
jobs.
