     HADOOP-4838. Added a registry to automate metrics and mbeans management.
     (Sanjay Radia via acmurthy) 
 
+    HADOOP-3136. Fixed the default scheduler to assign multiple tasks to each 
+    tasktracker per heartbeat, when feasible. To ensure locality isn't hurt too 
+    badly, the scheudler will not assign more than one off-switch task per 
+    heartbeat. The heartbeat interval is also halved since the task-tracker is 
+    fixed to no longer send out heartbeats on each task completion. A slow-start
+    for scheduling reduces is introduced to ensure that reduces aren't started 
+    till sufficient number of maps are done, else reduces of jobs whose maps 
+    aren't scheduled might swamp the cluster. (acmurthy)
+    Configuration changes to mapred-default.xml:
+      add mapred.reduce.slowstart.completed.maps
