Description

Each time a pollforNewTask in called on the JobTracker, the taskinprogress makes a call to hasSpeculativeTask() which current does a conf.getSpeculativeExecution() each time its called. The fix would be to store it in the TaskInProgress as soon as it is created and make only a single call to conf.getSpeculativeExecution().
