Xuan Gong commented on MAPREDUCE-5533:
--------------------------------------

bq.Should we allow some lag time before marking the history data as 
no-progress? I am concerned if this method can cause many false positive 
speculation. Can you please make some inputs if this is unlikely to happen?

Originally, between the two continous scheduler TaskAttempUpdate events, 
estimatedRunTime will not change. The changes that I have made will keep 
estimatedRunTime update everytime that Speculator calls. 

I agree that we may need to add some lag time between each changes.
