> It would be lovely if, from the jobtracker page, I could click a button that's not "kill" or "fail" but ..."pause."
> The pause button would stop a certain task from starting any more mappers or reducers. They would all wait in the "pending" stage until the job is "un-paused." Currently-running tasks would continue to run, and then complete, thus freeing the resources for other jobs.
> This would help a lot for systems (esp. Hive) in which one or two jobs are hogging a lot of mappers or reducers. The ones they have would finish, and then other jobs could "catch up," and then they could be unpaused for a while. This would also allow for user-level throttling of their jobs in instances where they need a lot of resources but have the time to spare.
