Scott Chen commented on MAPREDUCE-2198:
---------------------------------------
Arun: Thanks for the comments. You are right. I guess this is not an issue
since we have MRv2. Closing this now.

> We can set the number of slots on the TaskTracker to be high and let
> FairScheduler handles the slots.
> This approach allows us to change the number of slots on each node
> dynamically.
> The administrator can change the number of slots with a CLI tool.
> One use case of this is for upgrading the MapReduce.
> Instead of restarting the cluster, we can run the new MapReduce on the same
> cluster.
> And use the CLI tool to gradually migrate the slots.
> This way we don't lost the progress fo the jobs that's already executed.
