Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-3801:
----------------------------------------

As someone who would add a listener to his todo list, can I state that it 
doesn't make that much difference to me. If it was an abstract class, I'd have 
to create a non-static inner class to handle the events; if it was an 
interface, I may still end up doing the same thing, though there it would be 
more optional.

> Schedulers will most often want to be the observers of the job state events 
> in a single class. Therefore, I think they should  be interfaces which can 
> have multiple inheritance.
