Karthik Kambatla commented on MAPREDUCE-5583:
---------------------------------------------
bq. from my brief glance at it, the FairScheduler will only assign as many
containers as specified by ANY.
I think so too. If FIFO doesn't do this today, I agree it is a bug.
> Ability to limit running map and reduce tasks

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5583

> Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5583-branch2.4.1.patch,

> It would be nice if users could specify a limit to the number of map or
> reduce tasks that are running simultaneously. Occasionally users are
> performing operations in tasks that can lead to DDoS scenarios if too many
> tasks run simultaneously (e.g.: accessing a database, web service, etc.).
> Having the ability to throttle the number of tasks simultaneously running
> would provide users a way to mitigate issues with too many tasks on a large
> cluster attempting to access a serivce at any one time.
> This is similar to the functionality requested by MAPREDUCE-224 and
> implemented by HADOOP-3412 but was dropped in mrv2.
