---------------------------------
Great catch Bryan. Would you mind contributing a doc-fix patch that fixes the Progressable statement?
Thanks,

> http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/util/Progressable.html The statement: "This is especially important for operations which take an insignificant amount of time since, in-lieu of the reported progress, the framework has to assume that an error has occured and time-out the operation." in the aforementioned URL directly contradicts http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/mapred_tutorial.html#Reporter which states: "where the application takes a significant amount of time to process individual key/value pairs, this is crucial since the framework might assume that the task has timed-out and kill that task."
> The two statements should be reconciled in order to remove confusion.
