dhruba borthakur commented on MAPREDUCE-944:
--------------------------------------------

This is not really a bug fix. It is mostly a refactoring of the code so that a 
certain functionality is separated out more cleanly. HADOOP-961 will benefit 
from this JIRA and it will have quite a few unit tests associated with it.

> The FairShare Scheduler has an extensible LoadManager API to regulate 
> allocating new tasks on a particular TaskTracker. In similar lines, it would 
> be nice if the FairShare Scheduler can have a pluggable policy to regulate 
> new tasks from a particular job. This will allow one to skip scheduling tasks 
> of a job that  is eating a large percentage of memory in the cluster, i.e. 
> fair-share of memory resources among jobs.
