[jira] [Created] (MAPREDUCE-4849) TaskSelector not used in FairScheduler

Vincent Behar created MAPREDUCE-4849:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: TaskSelector not used in FairScheduler
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-4849
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4849
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: contrib/fair-share
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1, 1.0.4
            Reporter: Vincent Behar


The documentation (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.4/fair_scheduler.html) describes the mapred.fairscheduler.taskselector parameter as an "extension point", but while the FairScheduler does instantiate the custom TaskSelector provided this way, it does not call any of its methods (obtainNewMapTask, obtainNewReduceTask, neededSpeculativeMaps or neededSpeculativeReduces).

We should either update the FairScheduler to use the TaskSelector when scheduling a task, or completely remove the TaskSelector and update the documentation.
