Hadoop 0.21 has the buy-cpu-time scheduler too, which does have preemption and is apparently simpler than the main schedulers, which Yahoo! and facebook use. Given the performance of the main schedulers matters a lot to those two companies, they will be nervous about any patch which could impact their performance. Starting off with the simpler code (and using the SVN_TRUNK scheduler plugin API) would be a good idea.

Any documentation you can make on writing/testing schedulers would be nice too, its a good plugin point, and datacentre scheduling is right up there with VM and data placement as cutting edge problems

You can write your own one based on them. They are open source.

In addition to default FIFO scheduler, there are fair scheduler and
capacity scheduler. In some sense, fair scheduler can be considered a
user-based scheduling while capacity scheduler does a queue-based
scheduling. Is there or will there be a hybrid scheduler that combines the
good parts of the two (or a capacity scheduler that allows preemption, then
different users are asked to submit jobs to different queues, in this way
implicitly follow user-based scheduling as well, more or less)?
