             Summary: Tez Speculation decision is calculated on each update by the dispatcher
                 Key: TEZ-4067
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-4067
             Project: Apache Tez
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ahmed Hussein


LegacySpeculator is an object field in VertexImpl. Therefore, all events are handled synchronously by the caller (dispatcher). This implies the following:
 # the dispatcher spends long time executing updateStatus as it needs to check the runtime estimation of the tezAttempts within the vertex.
 # the speculator is per stage: lunching a speculation may not the optimum decision. Ideally, based on resources, speculated tasks should be the ones with slowest progress.
 # the time between speculation is skewed because there is a big delay for the dispatcher to complete a full cycle. Also, speculation will be more aggressive compared to MR because MR waits for "soonest.retry.after.speculate" whenever a task is speculated. On the other hand, Tez speculates more tasks as it processes stages in parallel.
