GH-369: EL Math functions to allow dynamic reducer calculation
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OOZIE-260
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-260
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Hadoop QA


I'm proposing adding a MathFunctions class to define EL functions which will 
allow dynamic reducer calculations. Specifically: min, max, round, toLong. I 
can add others if people think they would be useful.

I was thinking that the reducer calculation would look something like this in 
the workflow.xml:
    <property>
      <name>mapred.reduce.tasks</name>
      <value>${min(round(fs:dirSize(processing_dir) / 128000), 100)}</value>
    </property>

For the background on this request, here is the email thread with Alejandro: 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Oozie-users/message/753

I'll post when I have the code changes finished and tested.
