Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on MAPREDUCE-1764:
----------------------------------------------

how expensive (memory wise) would it be to add indices from node->[tasks] and 
rack->[tasks] based on split information?

leaving slots idle seems like a real bummer. it would seem better to be greedy 
and always grab something (especially if the fraction of non-local tasks is 
within tolerable limits)

> FairScheduler locality delay may put heavy pressure on Jobtracker

> FairScheduler locality delay feature holds the scheduling of jobs until it 
> gets good locality.
> This greatly improves the locality of the tasks. Reduce the cost of traffic.
> We have observed the following problem on FairScheduler locality delay:
> We have some machines have older data and some newly added machines do not 
> have important data.
> When these machines send heartbeat, JT scans tasks to find jobs has the right 
> locality.
> Often time, these machines will scan all of the tasks of all the jobs and do 
> not get any tasks.
> Scanning all the tasks on the JT is very costly. This makes JT very slow.
> And these machines often time do not get scheduled. This hurts the cluster 
> utilization.
> Any ideas?
