Allow users to do speculative execution of a task manually
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1608
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1608
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Scott Chen


Speculative execution improves the latency of the job. Sometimes the job has 
few very slow reducers. Spending a little more resource on speculative tasks 
can improve the latency a lot. It will be nice that the users can manually 
select one task and force the speculative execution on that task just like we 
can manually kill/fail task.

The proposal is add link says "speculate" in taskdetails.jsp page where we do 
"kill/fail".

Thoughts?
