------------------------------------------------
Thanks Jason the changes look good to me +1.
> mapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps is not working properly to delay
> the scheduling of the reduce tasks

> Key: MAPREDUCE-4228
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4228
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: applicationmaster, mrv2
> Affects Versions: 0.23.1
> Reporter: Jason Lowe
> Assignee: Jason Lowe

> If no more map tasks need to be scheduled but not all have completed, the
> ApplicationMaster will start scheduling reducers even if the number of
> completed maps has not met the mapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps
> threshold. For example, if the property is set to 1.0 all maps should
> complete before any reducers are scheduled. However the reducers are
> scheduled as soon as the last map task is assigned to a container. For a job
> with very long-running maps, a cluster with enough capacity to launch all map
> tasks could cause reducers to launch prematurely and waste cluster resources.
> Thanks to Phil Su for discovering this issue.
