Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-4189:
------------------------------------

bq. For restartability, we really should separate the start event from the 
finish event.
I dont think it really matters. Any task-attempt that has started but not 
closed is probably useless w.r.t recovery. Hence task-attempt which has a 
_START_ and _END_ is really what we want and hence  we can keep it as it is. 

bq. Why does it double? Hopefully we are using UTF-8 encoding so it should be 1 
byte/char.
I checked on my local box and its ASCII. Assuming 3mb as the default, we now 
risk 5.2k tasks which should be ok.
