> In the TaskTracker, there is a completion events fetcher thread that fetches
> new events from the JobTracker. Normally, the fetcher thread would sleep for
> heartbeatInterval amount of time per cycle. When a reduce task asks for
> completion events from the corresponding TaskTracker and the TaskTracker
> currently doesn't have anything to hand out, a notification is sent to the
> completion events fetcher thread to wake up and fetch new events if any.
> Sometimes this notification could be lost and the reduce task would be idle
> for a few seconds. This hurts the performance of jobs like terasort.
