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

Hi Alan,

Demands are only updated when the fair scheduler's update() function is called 
(which calls updateDemand in turn). All the code that calls setPool calls 
scheduler.update() afterwards. So you should do that in the unit test too.

> Provide a jobconf property for explicitly assigning a job to a pool

> A common use case of the fair scheduler is to have one pool per user, but 
> then to define some special pools for various production jobs, import jobs, 
> etc. Therefore, it would be nice if jobs went by default to the pool of the 
> user who submitted them, but there was a setting to explicitly place a job in 
> another pool. Today, this can be achieved through a sort of trick in the 
> JobConf:
> {code}
> <property>
>   <name>mapred.fairscheduler.poolnameproperty</name>
>   <value>pool.name</value>
> </property>
> <property>
>   <name>pool.name</name>
>   <value>${user.name}</value>
> </property>
> {code}
> This JIRA proposes to add a property called mapred.fairscheduler.pool that 
> allows a job to be placed directly into a pool, avoiding the need for this 
> trick.
