Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-5110:
------------------------------------------
[~kkambatl] Sorry if I wasn't clear.
My point is simple: The JT already has code to deal with slow launches i.e.
ExpireLaunchingTasks. What benefit do we get by re-implementing this on TT? Why
not reduce the timeout on JT?
> Long task launch delays can lead to multiple parallel attempts of the task

> If a task takes too long to launch, the JT expires the task and schedules
> another attempt. The earlier attempt can start after the later attempt
> leading to two parallel attempts running at the same time. This is
> particularly an issue if the user turns off speculation and expects a single
> attempt of a task to run at any point in time.
