+1. Will commit this shortly.
> MRAppMaster does not preempt reducer when scheduled Maps cannot be full filled

> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug

> We saw corner case where Jobs running on cluster were hung. Scenario was
> something like this. Job was running within a pool which was running at its
> capacity. All available containers were occupied by reducers and last 2
> mappers. There were few more reducers waiting to be scheduled in pipeline.
> At this point two mappers which were running failed and went back to
> scheduled state. two available containers were assigned to reducers, now
> whole pool was full of reducers waiting on two maps to be complete. 2 maps
> never got scheduled because pool was full.
> Ideally reducer preemption should have kicked in to make room for Mappers
> from this code in RMContaienrAllocator
> {code}
> int completedMaps = getJob().getCompletedMaps();
> int completedTasks = completedMaps + getJob().getCompletedReduces();
> if (lastCompletedTasks != completedTasks) {
> lastCompletedTasks = completedTasks;
> recalculateReduceSchedule = true;
> }
> if (recalculateReduceSchedule) {
> preemptReducesIfNeeded();
> {code}
> But in this scenario lastCompletedTasks is always completedTasks because maps
> were never completed. This would cause job to hang forever. As workaround if
> we kill few reducers, mappers would get scheduled and caused job to complete.
