> By allowing a pluggable JobInProgess it will be possible for provide implementations that can do a sophisticated task provisioning to the JobTracker. 
> For example, by providing alternate implementations of the {{obtainNewMapTask}}, {{obtainNewReduceTask}} and {{updateTaskInProgress}} it would be possible to implement a license server that allows to throttle use of external resources (ie webservices, databases) so at any given time there are not more than N tasks using a given resource. For this a task could be tagged with the names of external resources and the license server would keep track of the tasks running per tag, if the counter reaches zero then the {{obtainNew*Task}} method could return NULL instead of a task.
