bq. The latest patch kills only the last task that started if the sum total of
all tasks' memory usage goes beyond the configured limit. Picking up only one
task may or may not bring down the usage to within the configured limits.
Attaching a new patch to address this. TaskMemoryManagerThread now calls
{{TaskTracker.findTaskToKill()}} repeatedly to find a few tasks with the least
progress so as to bring down the total memory usage of all tasks falls below
TT's limit, and then kills them. Modified the signature of
{{TaskTracker.findTaskToKill()}} to
{{TaskTracker.findTaskToKill(List<TaskAttempId> tasksToExclude)}} so as to help
excluding tasks that are already marked for killing.
> Enhance how memory-intensive user tasks are handled

> HADOOP-3581 monitors each Hadoop task to see if its memory usage (which
> includes usage of any tasks spawned by it and so on) is within a per-task
> limit. If the task's memory usage goes over its limit, the task is killed.
> This, by itself, is not enough to prevent badly behaving jobs from bringing
> down nodes. What is also needed is the ability to make sure that the sum
> total of VM usage of all Hadoop tasks does not exceed a certain limit.
