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

In the default case it will take atleast 5min to send a notification. The 
reducer code is such that only one map task per host is tried at a time. It 
will try a new map task only if the earlier one succeeds/fails.

> Blacklisted hosts may not be able to serve map outputs

> 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.
