             Summary: Looking for speculative tasks is very expensive in 1.x
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-4499
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4499
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: mrv1, performance
    Affects Versions: 1.0.3
            Reporter: Nathan Roberts


When there are lots of jobs and tasks active in a cluster, the process of 
figuring out whether or not to launch a speculative task becomes very 
expensive. 

I could be missing something but it certainly looks like on every heartbeat we 
could be scanning 10's of thousands of tasks looking for something which might 
need to be speculatively executed. In most cases, nothing gets chosen so we 
completely trashed our data cache and didn't even find a task to schedule, just 
to do it all over again on the next heartbeat.

On busy jobtrackers, the following backtrace is very common:

"IPC Server handler 32 on 50300" daemon prio=10 tid=0x00002ab36c74f800
