-    * it changes the directory structure of the done directory that holds history logs for jobs that are completed,
-    * it builds toy databases for completed jobs, so we no longer have to scan 2N files on DFS to find out facts about the N jobs that have completed since the job tracker started [which can be hundreds of thousands of files in practical cases],
-    * it changes the job history browser to display more information and allow more filtering criteria, and
-    * it creates a new programmatic interface for finding files matching user-chosen criteria. This allows users to no longer be concerned with our methods of storing them, in turn allowing us to change those at will.

 This would be taken at intervals that depend on the task progress plateaus. For example, reducers have three progress ranges - [0-1/3], (1/3-2/3], and (2/3-3/3] - where fundamentally different activities happen. Mappers have different boundaries that are not symmetrically placed [0-9/10], (9/10-1]. Data capture boundaries should coincide with activity boundaries. For the state information capture [CPU and memory] we should average over the covered interval.

 The fundamental idea of MRv2 is to split up the two major functionalities of the JobTracker, resource management and job scheduling/monitoring, into separate daemons. The idea is to have a global ResourceManager (RM) and per-application ApplicationMaster (AM).  An application is either a single job in the classical sense of Map-Reduce jobs or a DAG of jobs. The ResourceManager and per-node slave, the NodeManager (NM), form the data-computation framework. The ResourceManager is the ultimate authority that arbitrates resources among all the applications in the system. The per-application ApplicationMaster is, in effect, a framework specific library and is tasked with negotiating resources from the ResourceManager and working with the NodeManager(s) to execute and monitor the tasks.
 
 The ResourceManager has two main components:
-* Scheduler (S)
-* ApplicationsManager (ASM)
+\* Scheduler (S)
+\* ApplicationsManager (ASM)
 
 The Scheduler is responsible for allocating resources to the various running applications subject to familiar constraints of capacities, queues etc. The Scheduler is pure scheduler in the sense that it performs no monitoring or tracking of status for the application. Also, it offers no guarantees on restarting failed tasks either due to application failure or hardware failures. The Scheduler performs its scheduling function based the resource requirements of the applications; it does so based on the abstract notion of a Resource Container which incorporates elements such as memory, cpu, disk, network etc.
