Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-3740:
------------------------------------
This is what the HADOOP-3412 is supposed to do, no? I am not sure of users need
to control {{updateTaskInProgress}}. Alejandro, do you have any specific
usecase?
> Make JobInProgress pluggable
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-3740
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3740
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mapred
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
>
> By allowing a pluggable JobInProgess it will be possible for provide
> implementations that can do a sophisticated task provisioning to the
> JobTracker.
> For example, by providing alternate implementations of the
> {{obtainNewMapTask}}, {{obtainNewReduceTask}} and {{updateTaskInProgress}} it
> would be possible to implement a license server that allows to throttle use
> of external resources (ie webservices, databases) so at any given time there
> are not more than N tasks using a given resource. For this a task could be
> tagged with the names of external resources and the license server would keep
> track of the tasks running per tag, if the counter reaches zero then the
> {{obtainNew*Task}} method could return NULL instead of a task.
