The maxRunningTasks property of the LimitTasksPerJob scheduler is ambiguous in its description, and must be updated
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-2640
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2640
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
            Reporter: Harsh J
            Assignee: Harsh J
             Fix For: 0.23.0


The property's entry in mapred-default.xml is like so:

{code}
<property>
  <name>mapreduce.jobtracker.taskscheduler.maxrunningtasks.perjob</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>The maximum number of running tasks for a job before
  it gets preempted. No limits if undefined.
  </description>
</property>
{code}

There is no mention that this is a property exclusive to the LimitTasksPerJob scheduler alone. The doc ought to be updated to note that unless there's a plan of reusing such a property (I do not see fair or capacity schedulers utilizing this, and they use their own configs).
