> LegacySpeculator is an object field in VertexImpl. Therefore, all events are
> handled synchronously by the caller (dispatcher). This implies the following:
> # the dispatcher spends long time executing updateStatus as it needs to
> check the runtime estimation of the tezAttempts within the vertex.
> # the speculator is per stage: lunching a speculation may not the optimum
> decision. Ideally, based on resources, speculated tasks should be the ones
> with slowest progress.
> # the time between speculation is skewed because there is a big delay for
> the dispatcher to complete a full cycle. Also, speculation will be more
> aggressive compared to MR because MR waits for
> "soonest.retry.after.speculate" whenever a task is speculated. On the other
> hand, Tez speculates more tasks as it processes stages in parallel.
