Amareshwari Sriramadasu updated MAPREDUCE-1398:
-----------------------------------------------
Attachment: patch-1398-2.txt
Patch with comments incorporated.
bq. The default value for taskMemoryManagerEnabled was changed in the patch
which seemed unnecessary. Can we instead override isTaskMemoryManagerEnabled,
if we just want to short circuit this in the test case ?
Instead of overriding isTaskMemoryManagerEnabled(), I made
setTaskMemoryManagerEnabledFlag() method package private and called it from
testcase to turn off memory management.

> Tasks could be assigned to trackers for slots that are running other tasks in
> a commit pending state. This is an optimization done to pipeline task
> assignment and launch. When the task reaches the tracker, it waits until
> sufficient slots become free for it. This wait is done in the TaskLauncher
> thread. Now, while waiting, if the task is killed externally (maybe because
> the job finishes, etc), the TaskLauncher is not notified of this. So, it
> continues to wait for the killed task to get sufficient slots. If slots do
> not become free for a long time, this would result in considerable delay in
> waking up the TaskLauncher thread. If the waiting task happens to be a high
> RAM task, then it is also wasteful, because by waking up, it can make way for
> normal tasks that can run on the available number of slots.
