------------------------------------------

Hi. Considering the approach for killing container based in job completion:
1. Where would be a good place to pass the information to NM. 
ContainerLaunchContext ?
2. How job complete information should be calculated? numCompletedContainers / 
numTotalContainers is OK?

> When a guaranteed container arrives at an NM but there are no resources to 
> start its execution, opportunistic containers will be killed to make space 
> for the guaranteed container.
> At the moment, we kill opportunistic containers in reverse order of arrival 
> (first the most recently started ones). This is not always the right 
> decision. 
> For example, we might want to minimize the number of containers killed: to 
> start a 6GB container, we could kill one 6GB opportunistic or three 2GB ones. 
> Another example would be to refrain from killing containers of jobs that are 
> very close to completion (we have to pass job completion information to the 
> NM in that case).
