Number of free slots on TaskTracker are calculated differently by JobTracker 
and TaskTracker

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1477
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1477
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jobtracker, tasktracker
            Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu


Currently number of free slots of TaskTracker come from different sources on 
JobTracker and TaskTracker. JobTracker iterates through TaskReports in 
TaskTrackerStatus and finds out how many slots are free, where as TaskTracker 
keeps it as a number. 
We saw some situations where these values could be different (when bugs like 
MAPREDUCE-1475 were hit).

To make it a single source, I think TaskTracker should send number of free 
slots also in the heartbeat.
