Rajiv Chittajallu commented on MAPREDUCE-532:
---------------------------------------------

I would prefer option 1. When we wan't to rate limit, absolute numbers is 
always good.

> Option to limit max tasks started per job/queue

> For jobs which call external services, (eg: distcp, crawlers) user/admin
