Hello!
  I've read about mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum that represents the 
maximum number of map tasks that will be run simultaneously by a task tracker. 
Given the following scenario:
1. You have a job fair scheduler
2. Two running Map/Reduce jobs with different values of 
mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum (for example MR_1 with  
mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum = 3
and MR_2 with mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum = 1)

Under these circumstances, how tasktracker will handle the two MR jobs 
regarding the number of maps that will be executed in parallel?
Please explain what could be a possible behavior of the tasktraker in the above 
scenario.
  Thank you.
Regards,
 Florin
