Thanks Harsh. Is this protocol something that is available to all AMs/tasks? Or is it up to each AM/task pair to develop their own protocol? john

In case of MR, for example, tasks talk to the AM and report their individual progress and counters back to it, via a specific protocol (over the network), giving the AM more data to compute an near-accurate global progress.
