Why don't we include documenting this as part of the the "map-reduce walk-through" sprint item?

-----
Oh a whole thread can be had on this I'm sure!

Why does one turn off speculative execution? Presumably because a MAP has unmanaged side-effects?

But... the framework still will rerun jobs if they complete and then the node is lost, right? Won't this tickle exactly the same issues that speculative execution raised anyway?

Doesn't this imply that disallowing speculative execution is basically not the right mechanism to deal with the side-effect issue and that this deserves a rethink?

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

Doug, does it make sense to do what is done in this patch only when speculative execution is on?

task trackers should not restart for having a late heartbeat

TaskTrackers should not close and restart themselves for having a late heartbeat. The JobTracker should just accept their current status.
