Description

We have come across issues in production clusters wherein users abuse counters, statusreport messages and split sizes. One such case was when one of the users had 100 million counters. This leads to jobtracker going out of memory and being unresponsive. In this jira I am proposing to put sane limits on the status report length, the number of counters and the size of block locations returned by the input split.
