Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-4421:
---------------------------------------

I propose we bite the bullet and introduce an enum TaskType {MAP, REDUCE, SETUP, CLEANUP} while we fix this...

> Currently we have a notion of map-{setup|cleanup} TIP and reduce-{setup|cleanup} TIP of which only 1 setup and cleanup tasks are picked by the JobInProgress. Also a lot of state-maintenence of these TIPs are done by the JobInProgress itself, outside of the more logical place i.e. TaskInProgress.
> We really should rework this to have a single setup and cleanup task which isn't associated with a map or reduce task i.e. into separate task _types_. What we have currently is quite ungainly and hard to maintain.
