Yiping Han commented on HADOOP-153:
-----------------------------------
Devaraj,
After some discussion, we think that output the killer records somewhere and
let the good records pass is an acceptable solution. It would be better if they
are collected onto DFS and put into a flat directory such that we can run a job
against it easily. And we also want to know what is the roadmap for this ticket?
> 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
>
> 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?
