Thanks, that makes sense. I added the license to the .java file.

> Task preemption is necessary in a multi-user Hadoop cluster for two reasons:
> users might submit long-running tasks by mistake (e.g. an infinite loop in a
> map program), or tasks may be long due to having to process large amounts of
> data. The Fair Scheduler (HADOOP-3746) has a concept of guaranteed capacity
> for certain queues, as well as a goal of providing good performance for
> interactive jobs on average through fair sharing. Therefore, it will support
> preempting under two conditions:
> 1) A job isn't getting its _guaranteed_ share of the cluster for at least T1
> seconds.
> 2) A job is getting significantly less than its _fair_ share for T2 seconds
> (e.g. less than half its share).
> T1 will be chosen smaller than T2 (and will be configurable per queue) to
> meet guarantees quickly. T2 is meant as a last resort in case non-critical
> jobs in queues with no guaranteed capacity are being starved.
> When deciding which tasks to kill to make room for the job, we will use the
> following heuristics:
> - Look for tasks to kill only in jobs that have more than their fair share,
> ordering these by deficit (most overscheduled jobs first).
> - For maps: kill tasks that have run for the least amount of time (limiting
> wasted time).
> - For reduces: similar to maps, but give extra preference for reduces in the
> copy phase where there is not much map output per task (at Facebook, we have
> observed this to be the main time we need preemption - when a job has a long
> map phase and its reducers are mostly sitting idle and filling up slots).
