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

bq. 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?

Yes, either that or to change the scheduler to alternate between looking for a 
map and looking for a reduce. Right now the logic in there is organized as:
{code}
for taskType in {MAP, REDUCE}:
  while true:
    if canLaunchTask(..., taskType):
     try to find a job with pending task
     if found a job:
       launch task
     else:
       break
{code}
It should become something like this:
{code}
while true:
  pick taskType to try next (if node has fewer maps than reduces, choose map; 
else choose reduce)
  if canLaunchTask(..., taskType):
   try to find a job with pending task
   if found a job:
     launch task
   else:
     break
{code}

> Design and develop a ResouceAwareLoadManager for the FairShare scheduler that 
> dynamically decides how many maps/reduces to run on a particular machine 
> based on the CPU/Memory/diskIO/network usage in that machine.  The amount of 
> resources currently used on each task tracker is being fed into the 
> ResourceAwareLoadManager in real-time via an entity that is external to 
> Hadoop.
