This package implements a fair scheduler for MapReduce jobs with additional
support for guaranteed shares and job limits.
The functionality of this scheduler is described in the Forrest
documentation at http://hadoop.apache.org/core/ or alternatively, in the
hadoop release it can be found at $HADOOP_PREFIX/docs. In order to build the
documentation on your own from source please use the following command in
the downloaded source folder:
ant docs -Dforrest.home=path to forrest -Djava5.home= path to jdk5.
The documentation so built would be under $HADOOP_PREFIX/build/docs
