Christian Kunz commented on HADOOP-3333:
----------------------------------------
Just noticed HADOOP_2770 with a seemingly related issue, making a case for not
rescheduling tasks on nodes where they have been killed (not just failed).
> job failing because of reassigning same tasktracker to failing tasks
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-3333
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3333
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mapred
> Affects Versions: 0.16.3
> Reporter: Christian Kunz
> Assignee: Arun C Murthy
> Priority: Blocker
>
> We have a long running a job in a 2nd atttempt. Previous job was failing and
> current jobs risks to fail as well, because reduce tasks failing on marginal
> TaskTrackers are assigned repeatedly to the same TaskTrackers (probably
> because it is the only available slot), eventually running out of attempts.
> Reduce tasks should be assigned to the same TaskTrackers at most twice, or
> TaskTrackers need to get some better smarts to find failing hardware.
> BTW, mapred.reduce.max.attempts=12, which is high, but does not help in this
> case.
