bq.  and in general if the new approach gives a more fair preemption, then we 
can move to that.

 is the "true fair". You can come back to look at the patch once it is uploaded.

> The ProportionalCapacityPreemptionPolicy preempts as many containers from 
> applications as it can during it's preemption run.  For fifo this makes 
> sense, as it is prempting in reverse order & therefore maintaining the 
> primacy of the "oldest".  For fair ordering this does not have the desired 
> effect - instead, it should preempt a number of containers from each 
> application which maintains a fair balance /close to a fair balance between 
> them
