Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-1227:
------------------------------------------
JT does not compute input-splits, that computation is done on the client side
before the job is submitted.
> Allow JobTracker to pause task scheduling

> Key: MAPREDUCE-1227
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1227
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Dmytro Molkov
>
> We want to have an ability to pause task scheduling in JobTracker.
> The idea is: make job tracker still accept new jobs, but delay their running
> and do not schedule any new tasks from the currently running jobs.
> It will help for example restarting the DFS cluster without affecting jobs:
> pause execution, restart the DFS, running tasks will fail, but will not be
> scheduled until the execution is resumed, so the job does not fail.
> In general it should help fix non MR problems (DFS, network, etc.) while not
> failing running jobs and keep accepting new ones.
> What do people think of the general idea?
