Hi Jay, Fail a single task four times (default), and the job will be marked as failed. Is that what you're looking for?
Or if you wanted your job to have succeeded even if not all tasks succeeded, tweak the "mapred.max.map/reduce.failures.percent" property in your job (by default it expects 0% failures, so set a number between 0-1 that is acceptable for you). To then avoid having to do it four times for a single task, lower "mapred.map/reduce.max.attempts" down from its default of 4. Does this answer your question?
