> When tasktracker gets a new task to run, it queries the namenode to find out
> the job directory _size_. This _size_ is required if the job files are not
> yet localized. But if its already localized then the dfs call gets wasted.
> This will be true for all but 1 tasks that run for a job on a tracker. One
> can avoid it but checking if the job is already localized.
