Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-3333:
---------------------------------------
bq. I think the ant tests depend on the fact that the trackernames can have
same hostname but different port. You should fix that too.
Amar, this patch only fiddles with the semantics of
TaskInProgress.machinesWhereFailed to get it to track hostnames rather than
trackerNames; I don't see any tests depending on that - or am I missing
something?
> job failing because of reassigning same tasktracker to failing tasks

> 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.
