Hi Tousif, You can kill the Running Job using the killJob() client API.
If you want to kill the job itself, you can get the job id using task attempt id from map() or reduce() functions, and you can invoke the killJob() API based on your condition. Thanks Devaraj ________________________________________ From: tousif [tousif.pa...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 3:15 PM To: common-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: job Killing itself upon some condition Hi, i have scheduled a map reduce job and i want this map reduce job to kill itself upon some condition. overall it should fail.
