----------------------------------------

Hi, [~ajisakaa]. This is really a problem when writing data with TestDFSIO. So 
I recommend turning off speculation execution at TestDFSIO. Can you help me 
review this patch? :D

> When TestDFSIO runs in a certain environment where a subset of mappers are 
> slow, the speculative execution can start.  In the write phase, this will 
> make existing mapper to fail in next addBlock() since the output files are 
> overwritten.
> To make the benchmark more predictable and repeatable, speculation must be 
> implicitly disabled in TestDFSIO itself.
