Khaled Elmeleegy commented on HADOOP-5632:
------------------------------------------

For a similar workload (20s maps), slot utilization was ~60% for the
unpatched JT. Now it's 99.8%.

There are two questions here:

- Does the patch keep all the slots busy? Previous experiments have shown
that it does.
- Can the patched JT keep up with the load from a large cluster, as the
patched JT could potentially be doing more work than the unpatched one?

These new experiments was trying to answer the later question. Results
suggest that the patched JT can easily handle large clusters.
