Arun C Murthy updated HADOOP-3136:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-3136_3_20081211.patch

Here is a patch which fixes the default scheduler to assign multiple tasks per 
heartbeat. The patch ensures that no more than one off-rack task is handed per 
heartbeat, changes the TaskTracker to ensure that it doesn't send a heartbeat 
on _every_ task completion and reduces the heartbeat interval from a ratio of 
1s per 50 trackers to 1s per 100 trackers.

> In today's logic of finding a new task, we assign only one task per heartbeat.
> We probably could give the tasktracker multiple tasks subject to the max 
> number of free slots it has - for maps we could assign it data local tasks. 
> We could probably run some logic to decide what to give it if we run out of 
> data local tasks (e.g., tasks from overloaded racks, tasks that have least 
> locality, etc.). In addition to maps, if it has reduce slots free, we could 
> give it reduce task(s) as well. Again for reduces we could probably run some 
> logic to give more tasks to nodes that are closer to nodes running most maps 
> (assuming data generated is proportional to the number of maps). For e.g., if 
> rack1 has 70% of the input splits, and we know that most maps are data/rack 
> local, we try to schedule ~70% of the reducers there.
> Thoughts?
