Haibo Chen commented on MAPREDUCE-5124:
---------------------------------------
Turns out MapReduce-6242 has already made the task heartbeat period
configurable (mapreduce.task.progress-report.interval). Will leave this to
implement the other approach, automatic task flow control, as Jason suggested.
> AM lacks flow control for task events

> The AM does not have any flow control to limit the incoming rate of events
> from tasks. If the AM is unable to keep pace with the rate of incoming
> events for a sufficient period of time then it will eventually exhaust the
> heap and crash. MAPREDUCE-5043 addressed a major bottleneck for event
> processing, but the AM could still get behind if it's starved for CPU and/or
> handling a very large job with tens of thousands of active tasks.
