Support hierarchical pools of directories to use for intermediate MapReduce data files (for SSD drives)

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1115
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1115
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tasktracker
            Reporter: Amr Awadallah
            Priority: Minor


Some initial benchmarking shows that SSDs can help a lot for local data files (for shuffle and other intermediate files). 

Currently mapred.local.dir just round-robins over the provided directories, it would be nice to allocate a set of SSD directories to round-robin across first, then spill over to normal drives if the SSD directories are full.
