--------------------------------------

Hi Matei,

Thanks for the comment.

1. I agree. It is good to keep this option.
2. You are right about MemBasedLoadManger.canLaunchTask. I will make the 
necessary change.
3. I agree. There should still be max slots limit. But we can make it higher 
since now we have the resource monitoring.
4.1 There are some per task memory limit configuration (HADOOP-5881). But those 
are for virtual memory. We may need something similar but for physical memory.
4.2 I see. So we may need to count the previous continuously launched map tasks 
in canLauch task and return a false if there are too many map tasks launched in 
a row. Is this correct? 

You comments are very useful. I will make the necessary changes and upload a 
new patch soon. Let me know if you have other suggestions. Thanks!
