[mapred] Change TaskMemoryManager to use JvmIDs instead of TaskIDs for 
memory-tracking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-4219
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4219
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
            Reporter: Vinod K V


To monitor tasks, TaskMemoryManager uses taskIDs to find pidFiles of the tasks. 
HADOOP-249 introduced jvm re-use because of which multiple tasks can run in a 
single JVM, and so will share the same pid(pidFile). HADOOP-249 works on a new 
task by creating a symlink to the pid-file of the task that ran first in the 
same jvm. Also, the process(jvm) is repeatedly added and removed from 
monitoring when tasks(under same jvm) come and go. The symlinks and the 
repetitive addition/removal from monitoring can be avoided if TaskMemoryManager 
uses JvmIDs instead of TaskIDs.
