Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-2175:
------------------------------------

This patch incorporates Devaraj's comments. Changes are as follows
- The call to lostTaskTracker now expects a reason/info for why/how the tracker 
is lost. 
- Losing a blacklisted tracker happens in {{addTrackerFailure}}
- Before losing  a tracker a check is made if the tracker exists in the JT and 
also the status is updated so that in the next heartbeat cycle the TT gets 
reinitialized. 
- The test case now doesn't depend on timing. 
- The only changes in {{MiniMRCluster}} is to do with default conf for JT/TT.

> After a node fails 4 mappers (tasks), it is added to blacklist thus it will 
> no longer accept tasks.
> But, it will continue serve the map outputs of any mappers that ran 
> successfully there. 
> However, the node may not be able serve the map outputs either. 
> This will cause the reducers to mark the corresponding map outputs as from 
> slow hosts, 
> but continue to try to get the map outputs from that node.
> This may lead to waiting forever.
