------------------------------------------------
Hey [~pbacsko], [~jlowe] I am wondering how stable is this feature. You
included it into branch-2.7 while a I was working on RC. Sorry I was not
following this jira.

> The AM does not have any flow control to limit the incoming rate of events
> from tasks. If the AM is unable to keep pace with the rate of incoming
> events for a sufficient period of time then it will eventually exhaust the
> heap and crash. MAPREDUCE-5043 addressed a major bottleneck for event
> processing, but the AM could still get behind if it's starved for CPU and/or
> handling a very large job with tens of thousands of active tasks.
