> skip records that throw exceptions

> Key: HADOOP-153
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-153
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: mapred
> Affects Versions: 0.2.0
> Reporter: Doug Cutting
> Assignee: Devaraj Das
> Fix For: 0.17.0
>
>
> MapReduce should skip records that throw exceptions.
> If the exception is thrown under RecordReader.next() then RecordReader
> implementations should automatically skip to the start of a subsequent record.
> Exceptions in map and reduce implementations can simply be logged, unless
> they happen under RecordWriter.write(). Cancelling partial output could be
> hard. So such output errors will still result in task failure.
> This behaviour should be optional, but enabled by default. A count of errors
> per task and job should be maintained and displayed in the web ui. Perhaps
> if some percentage of records (>50%?) result in exceptions then the task
> should fail. This would stop jobs early that are misconfigured or have buggy
> code.
> Thoughts?
