Hi Jay Did you try hadoop job -kill-task <task-id> ? And is that not working as desired?

Hi guys : I want my tasks to end/fail, but I don't want to kill my entire hadoop job. I have a hadoop job that runs 5 hadoop jobs in a row. Im on the last of those sub-jobs, and want to fail all tasks so that the task tracker stops delegating them, and the hadoop main job can naturally come to a close. However, when I run "hadoop job kill-attempt / fail-attempt ....", the jobtracker seems to simply relaunch the same tasks with new ids. How can I tell the jobtracker to give up on redelegating?
