Failed Task

[Ross Boucher]

I set up a hadoop task to run, and after 45 minutes it had completed  
all but one task.  This one task had been killed and retried 3 times  
already,  so I left it overnight, and 615 attempts later, it still  
hasn't been able to complete the one job.  Is there some setting I'm  
missing that can tell it to just abort a job that doesn't complete,  
say, after the third try? I don't particularly like the idea of jobs  
that will never complete because of one bad input file.

Thanks.
