I believe it went down from 90ish percent to around 60%. Runping?

> In today's logic of finding a new task, we assign only one task per heartbeat.
> We probably could give the tasktracker multiple tasks subject to the max
> number of free slots it has - for maps we could assign it data local tasks.
> We could probably run some logic to decide what to give it if we run out of
> data local tasks (e.g., tasks from overloaded racks, tasks that have least
> locality, etc.). In addition to maps, if it has reduce slots free, we could
> give it reduce task(s) as well. Again for reduces we could probably run some
> logic to give more tasks to nodes that are closer to nodes running most maps
> (assuming data generated is proportional to the number of maps). For e.g., if
> rack1 has 70% of the input splits, and we know that most maps are data/rack
> local, we try to schedule ~70% of the reducers there.
> Thoughts?
