------------------------------------------

Arun, I've started looking at this patch. It did not apply on trunk with 
TestCapacityScheduler failing to merge. I tried to fix it - the conflict seemed 
to be only in an import statement. But when I ran the test case to check 
whether the merge was fine, I got the following failures:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: null
    at 
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestCapacityScheduler.testUserLimitsForHighMemoryJobs(TestCapacityScheduler.java:1373)
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: null

junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: null expected:<Used capacity: [2 (33.3]% of 
Capacity)> but was:<Used capacity: [4 (66.7]% of Capacity)>
    at 
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestCapacityScheduler.checkOccupiedSlots(TestCapacityScheduler.java:2814)
    at 
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestCapacityScheduler.testHighRamJobWithSpeculativeExecution(TestCapacityScheduler.java:2383)

Particularly from the last test, I am hoping that its only the test case that 
needs fixing, because in actual, it seems like the patch has actually increased 
the number of used slots. *smile*.

I will continue to look at the changes under this assumption, and get to the 
test cases in a bit.

> When a HighRAMJob turns up at the head of the queue, the current 
> implementation of support for HighRAMJobs in the Capacity Scheduler has 
> problem in that the scheduler stops assigning tasks to all TaskTrackers in 
> the cluster until a HighRAMJob finds a suitable TaskTrackers for all its 
> tasks.
> This causes a severe utilization problem since effectively no new tasks are 
> allowed to run until the HighRAMJob (at the head of the queue) gets slots.
