> Currently, there is a configurable size that must be free for a task tracker to accept a new task. However, that isn't a very good model of what the task is likely to take. I'd like to propose:
> Map tasks:  totalInputSize * conf.getFloat("map.output.growth.factor", 1.0) / numMaps
> Reduce tasks: totalInputSize * 2 * conf.getFloat("map.output.growth.factor", 1.0) / numReduces
> where totalInputSize is the size of all the maps inputs for the given job.
> To start a new task, 
>   newTaskAllocation + (sum over running tasks of (1.0 - done) * allocation) >= 
>        free disk * conf.getFloat("mapred.max.scratch.allocation", 0.90);
> So in English, we will model the expected sizes of tasks and only task tasks that should leave us a 10% margin. With:
> map.output.growth.factor -- the relative size of the transient data relative to the map inputs
> mapred.max.scratch.allocation -- the maximum amount of our disk we want to allocate to tasks.
