> Fix the per-job tasktracker 'blacklist'

> Today whenever a tracker is 'lost' all the jobs which ever ran on it are
> considered as failures and added to the blacklist, which automatically
> ensures that the particular TT is *never* considered for allocating new tasks
> unless *all* tasktrackers are on the list. This results in an ugly situation
> where a majority of nodes in the cluster are on the blacklist and hence idle,
> while the other TTs are maxed out.
> The proposal is two-fold:
> a) Don't count *all* tasks which ever ran on the TT, we can count it as a
> 'single' task failure - which means that each 'lost' tracker results in a
> loss of 20% of the '5 failures == blacklisted' quota.
> b) Stop adding nodes to the blacklist when a certain percentage of the
> cluster, say 25%, are already on the blacklist - adding more than that would
> just delay the inevitable i.e. there is something horrendously wrong with the
> cluster - we might as well fail the job early and noisily.
> Thoughts?
