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

The end goal is *really* to get isolation of jobs having different SLAs.  One 
way to do this is to use VMs and solaris has relatively good ones from what I 
understand (not so in Linux). 

Torque can be used, but it is the policies of what-to-move, when-to-move, etc 
that will be important, rather than which daemon will move it. The daemon could 
be something that we build (inside or outside the Hadoop framework) or it could 
be a extension to Torque. This requires that the JT exposes certain APIs that 
this external piece of software can use to build it policies. Maybe we can use 
this JIRA to discuss what these policies could be and when they get triggered?

> We have multiple map-reduce clusters that provide different service and 
> support levels for their users. We have seen that utilization of hardware 
> resources are not optimized if we have a static partition of existing 
> hardware resources into these separate MR clusters. It would be nice to have 
> a automatic way to move nodes from one MR cluster to another based on load 
> characteristics and configured policies. This JIRA will discuss some of the 
> ideas and possible implementations of those ideas.
