> We had one job with speculative execution hang.
> 4 reduce tasks were stuck with 95% completion because of a bad disk. 
> Devaraj pointed out 
> bq . One of the conditions that must be met for launching a speculative instance of a task is that it must be at least 20% behind the average progress, and this is not true here.
> It would be nice if speculative execution also starts up when tasks stop making progress.
> Devaraj suggested 
> bq. Maybe, we should introduce a condition for average completion time for tasks in the speculative execution check.
