Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-2198:
------------------------------------------
bq. Also, as Joydeep pointed out there are several issues with unassigned slots
in TTs...
You also have to worry about piggy-backing of task-cleanup tasks done by the
JT...
> Allow FairScheduler to control the number of slots on each TaskTracker

> Key: MAPREDUCE-2198
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2198
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib/fair-share
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Scott Chen
> Assignee: Scott Chen
> Fix For: 0.22.0
>
>
> We can set the number of slots on the TaskTracker to be high and let
> FairScheduler handles the slots.
> This approach allows us to change the number of slots on each node
> dynamically.
> The administrator can change the number of slots with a CLI tool.
> One use case of this is for upgrading the MapReduce.
> Instead of restarting the cluster, we can run the new MapReduce on the same
> cluster.
> And use the CLI tool to gradually migrate the slots.
> This way we don't lost the progress fo the jobs that's already executed.
