Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-4350:
---------------------------------------
I think this is not a good direction to go. It would be much better to use the
scheduler to give priority to the jobs that need it. By pausing the jobs and
tasks, you'll consume resources that will block effective work by other jobs.

> Consider a case where the user job depends on some external entity/service
> like a database or a web service. If the service needs restart or encounters
> a failure, the user should be able to pause the job and resume only when the
> service is up. This will be better than re-executing the whole job. Hence
> there should be some way to pause/resume jobs (from web-ui/command line) etc.
